Summary

About six months after patella stabilizing surgery postoperative restrictions are commonly lifted and patients may consider whether a return to activity/sports is feasible. Currently, there are no evidence-based criteria to determine a patients readiness for sports and/or activity (RTS) following stabilizing surgery. The purpose of this project was therefore to investigate the feasibility of a test battery to evaluate knee function in postoperative follow-up evaluation - and in RTS decisions - for patients with patellar instability. Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument 2.0 and Norwich Patellar Instability Score is being translated and validatend in a Norwegian population. Furter is patients experience of living with patellar instability explored.

Conditions

• Patella
• Joint Instability
• Patellofemoral Joint Dislocation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Return to Sport testbattery	At baseline, approximately 3 weeks before surgery and 6 months after surgery: patients conduct a testbattery consisting of 2 PROMs: the NPI-No and BPII2.0-No together with three physical tests: isokinetic strength tests, hop tests and Y-balance test. For the cross-cultural validation of NPI and BPII2.0 patients also conduct KOOS, IKDC 2000 and Tampa Scale.
