Chronic Infrapatellar Fat Pad Fibrosis: Hoffa’s Disease, a Commonly Unrecognized Source of Anterior Knee Pain – A Report of Two Cases [PDF]
International Journal of Sports Physical TherapyFibrosis of the infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa’s disease) is a frequently missed cause of anterior knee pain in young, active individuals. A diagnostic test that involves injection of the infrapatellar fat pad with local anesthetic and subsequent stress ...

Enrichment of HLA-DR+ neutrophils in osteoarthritic infrapatellar fat pad [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Neutrophils are increasingly recognized as functionally versatile immune cells, with tissue-specific phenotypes that extend beyond their classical role in acute inflammation. In osteoarthritis (OA), neutrophils are abundant in synovial fluid (SF)

Inflammatory gradients in the infrapatellar fat pad of knee osteoarthritis: implications for joint damage [PDF]
Arthritis Research & TherapyThe infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), exhibiting marked histological changes as the disease progresses. However, the intra-tissue variations within KOA-affected IFP remain poorly understood.

Arthroscopic Resection of Infrapatellar Fat Pad Impingement Syndrome: Long-Term Clinical Results at Minimum 10-Year Follow-Up [PDF]
MedicinaBackground and Objectives: Infrapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome (IFPIS) is a relatively underdiagnosed cause of anterior knee pain. While conservative management is the initial approach, some patients require surgical intervention. This study aimed

Preservation of the infrapatellar fat pad during total knee arthroplasty reduces subacute postoperative anterior knee pain: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Preservation of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with a lower incidence of postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP). However, the comparative efficacy of IPFP preservation remains unclear.

Role of Infrapatellar Fat Tissue in the Pathogenesis of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Review [PDF]
Travmatologiâ i Ortopediâ Rossii, 2023 Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases in the adult population. The role of indolent inflammation and predominance of catabolic cytokines over anabolic ones in OA has now been proven.

Identification of novel adipokines in the joint. Differential expression in healthy and osteoarthritis tissues. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 OBJECTIVES:Emerging data suggest that several metabolic factors, released mainly by white adipose tissue (WAT) and joint tissues, and collectively named adipokines, might have a role in the pathophysiology of OA.
