The Role of the Ultrasonographic Knee Assessment in the Diagnosis of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Background: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common anterior knee compartment pain etiology. It has been aimed to assess the ultrasonographic findings of patellofemoral joint in patients with PFPS versus healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: The current case-control investigation was performed on 30 cases suffering from individuals Isfahan during 2020-21. All underwent ultrasonography cartilage thickness, sulcus angle, depth. We also measured Q angle manual goniometer. Results: In individuals, scores were statistically lower than group (P=0.002). remarkably higher among compared controls. thickness (P=0.88) depth (P=0.543) had no statistical difference between subjects (P<0.05). Conclusions: Patients significantly
