Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create consensus-based guidelines for managing first-time patellar dislocations, focusing on nonoperative treatments, and addressing cases where nonoperative methods fail.
- A survey with 29 questions was created and distributed among experts from the Patellofemoral Research Interest Group to gather opinions on treatment approaches for dislocations, both with and without osteochondral fractures.
- Ultimately, 11 consensus-based guidelines were produced, heavily favoring nonoperative treatments and emphasizing early physical therapy and gradual return to sports.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of guided growth for the treatment of patients with a moderate leg-length discrepancy. The authors retrospectively reviewed all patients treated with guided growth for a moderate leg-length discrepancy at their institution between October 2004 and December 2010. Thirty-four patients met the inclusion criteria from an initial cohort of 105 patients.
