The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of future injury and disability following LPD. The investigators' long term goal is to improve longitudinal outcomes of athletes with LPD following surgical and non-surgical management. Currently, there is limited information available to clinicians regarding appropriate criteria for returning athletes to sports participation following LPD. The evidence produced by this study will provide necessary information to develop appropriate rehabilitation strategies that may reduce the risk for future patellar instability and associated patellofemoral joint dysfunction and pain.
