Patellofemoral (PF) alignment and trochlear morphology are associated with PF osteoarthritis (OA) and knee pain, but whether they are associated with localized anterior knee pain is unknown, which is believed to be a symptom specific to PF joint ...

Surgical versus non-surgical interventions for treating patellar dislocation [PDF]
Background: Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella disengages completely from the trochlear (femoral) groove. Following reduction of the dislocation, conservative (non-surgical) rehabilitation with physiotherapy may be used.

Understanding the patellofemoral joint in total knee arthroplasty
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful procedures in orthopedic surgery. Nevertheless, postoperative patellofemoral complications remain a challenging problem, affecting a substantial proportion of patients.

The non-invasive evaluation technique of patellofemoral joint stress: a systematic literature review
Introduction: Patellofemoral joint stress (PFJS) is an important parameter for understanding the mechanism of patellofemoral joint pain, preventing patellofemoral joint injury, and evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of PFP rehabilitation programs.

Fracture of the tibial baseplate in bicompartmental knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Introduction. Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) addresses combined medial and patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis, which is relatively common, and has been proposed as a bridge between unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Gearing effects of the patella (knee extensor muscle sesamoid) of the helmeted guineafowl during terrestrial locomotion [PDF]
Human patellae (kneecaps) are thought to act as gears, altering the mechanical advantage of knee extensor muscles during running. Similar sesamoids have evolved in the knee extensor tendon independently in birds, but it is unknown if these also affect ...

Does increased femoral antetorsion predispose to cartilage lesions of the patellofemoral joint?
Aims and Objectives: Anatomic variants, instability or incongruence of the patellofemoral joint have been shown to result in pathological patellofemoral stress-patterns and have been described to predispose to patellofemoral cartilage degeneration ...
