Feasibility of return to sports assessment 6 months after patellar instability surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The evidence regarding the usefulness of assessment tools to support decisions of return-to-sport after surgery for patellar instability is scarce. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the feasibility of functional tests assessing readiness for return-to-sport six months after patellar stabilizing surgery. However, there is little evidence on what a functional assessment should include to support these decisions following surgery for patellar instability. Therefore the purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of functional tests assessing readiness for return-to-sport six months after patellar stabilizing surgery.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study a prospective cohort of 78 patients were subjected to a range of return-to-sport readine
