Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to evaluate the outcomes of patellar instability treatments at Duke. We want to learn more about how people do over time after they have chosen surgical or non-surgical options for treatment. We want to evaluate several lifestyle factors after treatment, including return to activities, pain, or any need for additional treatment or surgery.
