BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common conditions seen in sports medicine practices, particularly among adolescent females. However, the natural history of the underlying pathology in patellofemoral pain during puberty remains poorly understood. PURPOSE The purpose of this longitudinal study is to assess changes in patellar maltracking patterns in subjects with patellofemora...

Patellofemoral pain is common in both athletic and nonathletic individuals. It is observed in 15%–33% of the young active group and approximately in 21%–45% in adolescence. Among athletes, men tend to present with more patellofemoral injuries than women. In the nonathletic population, women and young individuals more commonly present with patellar disorders. Many static and dynamic internal der...

The etiology of patellofemoral pain is likely related to pathological femoral shape and soft-tissue restraints imbalance. These factors may result in various maltracking patterns in patients with patellofemoral pain. Thus, we hypothesized that femoral shape influences patellofemoral kinematics, but that this influence differs between kinematically unique subgroups of patients with patellofemora...

Background. Patellar instability is one of the most common pathologies musculoskeletal system, predominantly observed in physically active young individuals. It ranks third structure knee joint injuries after anterior cruciate ligament and meniscal injuries.
 The aim this review to present modern perspectives on diagnosis, principles, surgical treatment techniques for patients with patella...

BackgroundPatellar instability is a considerable problem that leads to pain and anxiety during simple functional tasks. Femoral derotational osteotomy has become common surgical procedure improve patella mechanics, stability loading. However, it remains unclear if static (MRI measured) femoral anteversion sufficient capture the dynamic rotation walking represents good indication for procedure. ...
