van Sambeeck JDP, Verdonschot N, Van Kampen A, et al. - This study was carried out to assess whether lower age at the time of surgery is correlated with better patient-reported outcomes. Researchers performed a retrospective study on patients with patellar instability and trochlear dysplasia. They used multivariable linear regression models to examine the effect of age on the patient-reported outcome measurement scores. The study included 125 surgical procedures in 113 patients. As per the results, pain scores of 113 patients who have undergone a lateral facet increasing trochlear osteotomy for patellar instability were reported in this cross-sectional study. At the time of surgery, age was associated with an elevated pain score at rest with an average of 9.5 points (scale 0–100) for every 10 years of age. It was shown that age at the time of surgery was not associated with overall satisfaction.
