Articular Hypermobility and Chondral Injury in Patients With Acute Patellar Dislocation

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, Michigan

Thirty adolescents with acute, primary patellar disloca tion were assessed for a relationship between articular hypermobility and chondral injury. The 15 patients with out articular hypermobility had a 2.5 times increased frequency of articular lesions when compared with 15 patients with hypermobility. Assessment of articular hy permobility should be part of the examination in patients with patellar dislocation.
