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.
