INTRODUCTION Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is often seen in physically active individuals and may account for 25–40% of all knee problems seen in a sports injury clinic. 2 Patellofemoral-related problems occur more frequently in women than in men. PFP is characterised by diffuse pain over the anterior aspect of ...

Although total knee arthroplasty is a successful and cost-effective procedure, patient dissatisfaction remains as high as 50%. Postoperative residual knee pain after total knee arthroplasty, with or without crepitation, is a major factor that contributes to patient dissatisfaction.

Objectives Current structural associations of patellofemoral pain (PFP) are based on 2D imaging methodology with inherent measurement uncertainty due to positioning and rotation. This study employed novel technology to create 3D measures of commonly described patellofemoral joint imaging features and compared these features in people with and without PFP in a large cohort. Methods We compared...

DESIGN One group pre-post design. SUBJECTS Seventy-four patients (median age 27 years, 52% female) diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome and referred to physiotherapy treatment. METHODS Baseline meas...

Seventy patients with patellar tendon or hamstring tendon autografts for single-incision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were evaluated at least 2 years after surgery. All reconstructions were performed by the same surgeon, and metal interference screws were used for fixation of all grafts. No significant differences were noted between groups for Lysholm score, reduction in activity, ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between intrinsic patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) in young adults and lower extremity biomechanics. [Subjects] This experiment was carried out with sixty (24 men and 32 women), who are normal university students as subjects. [Methods] All subjects underwent 3 clinical evaluations. For distinguishing the intrinsic PFPS from ...
