• The treatment of acute patellar dislocation remains a topic of debate among orthopedic surgeons. While conservative treatment has traditionally been favored, recent studies have highlighted the high redislocation rate, prompting a reevaluation of treatment strategies. Current approaches recognize the importance of addressing not only the knee joint but also associated factors contributing to instability. Surgical intervention, particularly focusing on restoring patellar stability through medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL), repair or reconstruction, has gained popularity. MPFL reconstruction can provide long-term stability of the patella, but further research is needed. When acute patellar dislocation is associated with abnormal bony factors, multiple surgical modalities are often required, with the goal of restoring the normal trajectory of the patella, maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral joint, and optimizing knee joint function. This review provides an overview of advances in the treatment o
