Résumé
Lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) frequently causes damage to the knee. Injury patterns and risk factors contributing to such injuries have not yet been examined in detail. We retrospectively analyzed 50 consecutive patients with primary LPD. Two reviewers evaluated the MRI images regarding risk factors for LPD (Dejours classification; Caton-Deschamps Index, CDI; distance from the tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove, TT-TG; trochlear depth, TD) as well as joint damages according to the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS). 33 male and 17 female patients with a mean age of 23.2 (±9.6) years were included in this study. 52% were classified Dejours ≥ B, 34% had a CDI ≥ 1.3, 22% a TT-TG ≥ 20mm and 52% a TD < 3mm. 49 out of 50 patients (98%) showed abnormalities according to WORMS. The most frequently observed abnormalities were synovitis/effusion (49/50, 98%), bone marrow oedema (44/50, 88%) and cartilage damage (42/50, 84%). Most frequently affected subregions were medial (41/50, 82%) and lateral (31/50, 62%) patella as well as the anterior (43/50, 86%), central (42/50, 84%) and posterior (11/50, 22%) portion of the lateral femoral condyle. There was no significant correlation between any of the examined risk factors and joint damages according to WORMS. Male patients had higher scores regarding total cartilage damage (5.11 vs. 2.56, p = 0.029), total score for the lateral femorotibial joint (3.15 vs. 1.65, p = 0.026) and overall total WORMS score (12.15 vs. 8.29, p = 0.038). Risk factors for LPD do not influence the risk of damages to the knee joint after primary LPD. Although LPD is generally known to affect more female than male patients, male patients suffered more severe injuries after primary LPD, particularly of the lateral femorotibial joint. Overall, our results underline the importance of MRI imaging after primary LPD.

BACKGROUND
Lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) frequently causes damage to the knee. Injury patterns and risk factors contributing to such injuries have not yet been examined in detail.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed 50 consecutive patients with primary LPD. Two reviewers evaluated the MRI images regarding risk factors for LPD (Dejours classification; Caton-Deschamps Index, CDI; distance from the tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove, TT-TG; trochlear depth, TD) as well as joint damages according to the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS).
RESULTS
33 male and 17 female patients with a mean age of 23.2 (±9.6) years were included in this study. 52% were classified Dejours ≥ B, 34% had a CDI ≥ 1.3, 22% a TT-TG ≥ 20mm and 52% a TD < 3mm. 49 out of 50 patients (98%) showed abnormalities according to WORMS. The most frequently observed abnormalities were synovitis/effusion (49/50, 98%), bone marrow oedema (44/50, 88%) and cartilage damage (42/50, 84%). Most frequently affected subregions were medial (41/50, 82%) and lateral (31/50, 62%) patella as well as the anterior (43/50, 86%), central (42/50, 84%) and posterior (11/50, 22%) portion of the lateral femoral condyle. There was no significant correlation between any of the examined risk factors and joint damages according to WORMS. Male patients had higher scores regarding total cartilage damage (5.11 vs. 2.56, p = 0.029), total score for the lateral femorotibial joint (3.15 vs. 1.65, p = 0.026) and overall total WORMS score (12.15 vs. 8.29, p = 0.038).
CONCLUSION
Risk factors for LPD do not influence the risk of damages to the knee joint after primary LPD. Although LPD is generally known to affect more female than male patients, male patients suffered more severe injuries after primary LPD, particularly of the lateral femorotibial joint. Overall, our results underline the importance of MRI imaging after primary LPD.
