Prognosis | Patellar luxation

Prognosis

Every patellar dislocation is a serious injury to the knee joint, often accompanied by permanent damage. For this reason, optimal follow-up treatment of the often still young patients is particularly important. Even with ideal follow-up treatment of a patella luxation, damage to the cartilage sliding surface of the patella and thigh must be expected in the medium and long term. The greatest goal must be to keep this damage as low as possible in order to ensure a permanent pain-free function of the knee joint.
