Abstract
Systematic review of the literature does not support operative treatment of primary patellar dislocation, as the results of nonoperative treatment are similar. However, surgery is indicated for recurrent patellar dislocation, and in the future, we anticipate that contemporary medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction outcomes for primary patellar dislocation will prove superior to nonoperative treatment.
