The Influence of Anatomic Deformities on the Clinical Efficacy in the Patients With Patellar Dislocation

Number of participants with redislocation of their patella after surgery as confirmed by clinical physical examination

We can determine patellar redislocation by physical examination. In participants with redislocation of their patella, the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position. Often the knee is partly bent, painful and swollen.The patella is also often felt and seen out of place. We recored the number of participants with redislocation of their patella after surgery.

Time frame: Three years after surgery

International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC) score

The entire IKDC form, which includes a demographic form, current health assessment form, subjective knee evaluation form, knee history form, surgical documentation form, and knee examination form, may be used as separate forms. The knee history form and surgical documentation form are provided for convenience. All researchers are required to complete the subjective knee evaluation and knee examination form. Instructions for scoring the subjective knee evaluation form and the knee examination form are provided on the back of the forms. Total score 100, ≥75 being considered excellent.

Time frame: Three years after surgery

Magnatic Resonance Imaging evaluation

All patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction underwent MRI imaging evaluation of both knees. Use International Cartilage Repair Society(ICRS) score to evaluate, total score is 12, classified into four grades,grade Ⅰ: normal (12), grade Ⅱ: nearly normal (8-11), grade Ⅲ: abnormal (4-7), grade Ⅳ: severely abnormal (1-3).

Time frame: Three years after surgery
