Study Overview
Brief 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Norwich patellar Instability score change from pre- to postopertaive score.
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months after surgery.
Patient-perceived symptoms of patellar instability during activity. It will be administered as a patient completed questionnaire.
Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument 2.0 change from pre- to postopertaive score
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months after surgery.
Self-administered, disease-specific quality of life score. It will be administered as a patient completed questionnaire.
Secondary Outcomes
- Single legged hop tests(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
- Isokinetic strength test(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
- Y-balance test(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
- IKDC-2000(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
- KOOS(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
- Tampa scale of kinesiophobia(Baseline and 6 months after surgery.)
