In this episode we dissect a systematic review from the Journal of Clinical Medicine, published in 2024, that evaluates the effectiveness of surgical versus conservative treatments for first-time patellar dislocations. It analyzes seven randomized controlled trials to compare redislocation rates, knee function, and complication risks associated with each approach. Tedeschi R, Platano D, Giorgi F, Donati D.
