Of 27 patients sustaining primary patellar dislocations, 20 were treated with immobilization and subsequent physiotherapy (including nine patients who underwent arthroscopy) and seven with immediate surgical stabilization and lateral release. The patients with predisposing factors such as patellofemoral malalignment, abnormal patellar configuration, and a history of prior symptoms of instability were more prone to recurrent dislocation and may benefit from operative intervention. Although the incidence of recurrence among those individuals can be decreased, at least 30% to 50% of all patients having sustained a primary patellar dislocation will continue to have symptoms of instability and/or anterior knee pain.
