Incidence and risk factors for patellofemoral dislocation in adults with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: An observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Patellofemoral (PF) dislocation is frequently encountered in clinical practice among people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), but the frequency and risk factors for PF dislocation in adults with CMT are unknown. This study aimed to establish the incidence of PF dislocation in adults with CMT and to explore the risk factors associated with PF dislocation.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study involving adults with a diagnosis of CMT, attending their outpatient clinics at a specialist neuromuscular centre in the United Kingdom. Eighty-one individuals were interviewed about any PF dislocation and underwent a lower-limb assessment, with a focussed knee examination, to identify possible risk factors for PF dislocation. The incidence of PF dislocatio
