Trochlea dysplasia, increased TT-TG distance and patella alta are risk factors for developing first-time and recurrent patella dislocation: a systematic review

ConclusionThere is strong evidence in the literature that abnormalities of bony stabilizers, trochlear dysplasia, increased TT –TG distance, and patella alta are risk factors for patella dislocation. There is less evidence that soft-tissue stabilizers are risk factors. The study emphasizes the importance of a thorough investigation of bony stabilizers in clinical decision-making.Level of evidenceLevel IV.
