The Faroese Knee Cohort is a research project aimed at exploring the causes, prevalence, and impact of patellar dislocation and trochelar dysplasia in adolescents living in the Faroe Islands.
It is a national survey-based study targeting individuals aged 15-19 years. In total, 3700 people were invited to participate in the survey, and 1700 people (46%) responded, forming the Faroese Knee Cohort. Those who reported prior patellar dislocation were offered the opportunity to participate further in the project by undergoing a clinical examination, blood tests, X-rays, and MRI scans. The inclusion phase of the project began on 4th October 2021 and has since been completed.

The Faroese Knee Cohort is a research project in the Faroe Islands that aims to investigate the causes, epidemiology, and impact of dislocation of the kneecap. The project seeks to determine the number of patients who have experienced this type of injury and how many have trochlear dysplasia, which is an abnormally flat trochlea in the femur. This condition is the biggest risk factor for patellar dislocation.

The study also aims to investigate if there is a familial association in the development of trochlear dysplasia. Additionally, it seeks to determine the impact on people's quality of life and function when they suffer from patellar dislocation with or without trochlear dysplasia.

Lastly, the study explores if there is any correlation between measurements on radiological imaging and how the patient is doing subjectively.
