Diagnosis
PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME Definition
Patellofemoral pain syndrome describes a variety of possible disorders that cause pain in the joint between the kneecap (Patella) and the thigh bone (Femur).
Model and X-ray of a Normal Knee
Details Patellofemoral pain syndrome is known by other names such as: Patellar Chondromalacia, Excessive Lateral Pressure Syndrome and simply Anterior Knee Pain. It is a very common problem especially in women.
The pain associated with this disorder may worsen with descending stairs climbing or deep squating. Sitting with your knees flexed for a long period of time in a car or movie theatre may also aggravate the symptoms. Causes A variety of underlying anatomic abnormalities may result in patellofemoral pain syndrome. It can be caused by softening or cracking of the articular cartilage under the kneecap. This is known as chondromalacia. A malalignment of the kneecap or tight tissue around the kneecap can also create tension that may lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Usually, this disorder arises without a history of significant trauma. Occasionally, the pain may begin after a blow to the knee or a minor injury.

Using Patellofemoral Braces for Anterior Knee Pain
Scott A. Paluska, MD; Douglas B. McKeag, MD, MS Department Editor: William O. Roberts, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 8 - AUGUST 1999 D isorders of the patellofemoral joint are common in recreational and competitive athletes. The pathophysiology of these disorders is unclear but may be related to malalignment of the patella and femoral trochlea, which may produce the characteristic anterior knee symptoms (1). Diagnosing and treating patellofemoral pain syndrome is challenging but important, since patellofemoral abnormalities can result in substantial discomfort and disability. One treatment measure that many patients find helpful for anterior knee pain is the simple-to-fit, inexpensive patellofemoral knee brace (PFB). These braces are best used as an adjunct to other therapies.
Benefits and Uses
PFBs were designed to minimize lateral patellar subluxation and dislocation, improve patellofemoral tracking, and decrease anterior knee pain (2). They are also intended to provide proprioceptive feedback and warm the patellofemoral joint. PFB manufacturers have made many claims about the efficacy and benefits of their braces, but most assertions have not been supported by scientific investigation or analysis (3). As with other types of knee braces, however, patients who have worn PFBs report benefits that exceed the objective effects noted by researchers (3,4). While PFBs do not appear to alter underlying biomechanical dysfunction, they provide a static restraint that (in most cases) applies a medially directed force to the lateral patella, thereby decreasing abnormal patellofemoral tracking. The sleeve itself helps compress the tissues and limit excessive patellar movement.

Persistent, intense pain occurs in the knee and distal thigh and may be mistaken for patellofemoral pain syndrome unless the fracture is identified by radiographic modalities (MRI or bone scan). Two cases of supracondylar femoral stress fractures in female runners highlight the need to seek proximal pathologies when patients report knee pain that cannot be explained by other conditions. S tress fractures are well-known overuse injuries in active people. Although the tibia and metatarsals are the most common locations, any lower-extremity weight-bearing bone may be affected. The femur is the fourth most common site of stress fractures, with injury occurring in the neck, subtrochanteric, shaft, or condylar regions.

    The definition of patellofemoral syndrome is anterior knee pain inthe joint between the patella and the patellofemoral groove.
    http://whs.wsd.wednet.edu/sportsmed/VanHoven
    Patellofemoral Pain
    The Physician and Sports Medicine
    Volume 22, Number 4 (April, 1994)
    Anthony Micheal Galea, MD; Jan M. Albers, MD
    Abstract
    The patellofemoral has been difficult to diagnose for many years. Treatments range from conservative therapy to surgery. It is now known that patellofemoral pain has many causes. Conservative therapy usually resolves pain no matter what the pain is caused from. There are many terms for patellofemoral syndrome, describing knee patella pain. Terms such as petellagia, patellar malalignment syndrome, and patellofemoral compression syndrome all describe the same problem. The definition of patellofemoral syndrome is anterior knee pain in the joint between the patella and the patellofemoral groove.
    Common characteristics of patients with patellofemoral syndrome include increased Q angle, internal tibial rotation, patellar instability, pes planus, and pain when the patella is compressed with the femur. A tight iliotibial band or hamstrings can also contribute to a problem.
    A typical patient with patellofemoral syndrome is a young adult with chronic knee pain. This can be brought on by going up and down stairs, jumping, or running. The pain can be relieved by rest and ice. The patient is not necessarily athletic. Osgood-Schlatter disease can also increase your chances of getting this syndrome. When the patient is younger than 17 the knee pain is usually acute and often bilateral. If the pain is due to chondromalacia, the patients tends to be older than 20, with past trauma and swelling.

    Acupuncture Relieves Knee Pain
    Study Finds "Clear, Durable Effect" in Reducing Pain and Improving Function
    By Michael Devitt, Managing Editor According to the National Institutes of Health, more than four million people seek medical care for a knee problem each year. A leading cause of chronic knee pain, particularly in young adults, is patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The condition occurs most frequently in adolescents who participate in sports, and is one of the most common diagnoses given at orthopedic centers and sports medicine clinics worldwide. Despite its prevalence, the contributing factors to patellofemoral pain syndrome are unclear. Although several studies have linked knee pain to certain physical activities, there seems to be no direct correlation between the level of pain and the degree of cartilage damage to one's knee, or to the amount of flexion or extension a person's knee experiences. To date, no single therapy has been shown to be completely effective in treating PFPS. However, acupuncture has shown promise in treating similar conditions such as gonarthrosis and osteoarthritis of the knee.

    Background: Patellofemoral joint complaints are one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in all age groups. Complaints vary from anterior knee pain to peripatellar knee pain to retropatellar knee pain. Nonspecific complaints may include global or generalized knee pain, joint line pain, or posterior knee pain. Often, there is a paucity of objective findings despite subjective complaints. The problem may vary from one of short duration to one of a recurrent or chronic nature. The etiology of patellofemoral joint syndrome is multifactorial. Treatment often is conservative in nature. Because of the variable nature of the complaints and often lack of objective identifiable pathologic cause of patellofemoral joint complaints, it can be difficult to evaluate, diagnose, and treat this condition, which may cause great frustration for the physician and patient alike. Frequency:
    • In the US: Patellofemoral joint syndrome may affect as many as 25% of all athletes.

    Charles R.Felder, PT, SCS, ATC
    Maureen A. Leeson, B.App.Sc.(Phty) Introduction Patellofemoral pain is a common ailment affecting one in four of the general population(6). It is caused by a variety of factors including abnormal lower limb mechanics, Vastus Medialis Obliquus (VMO) insufficiency, tight lateral structures and tight anterior and posterior muscles. The condition often develops gradually and is characterized by a diffuse ache in the area of the anterior knee. Pain is a significant factor since it will inhibit muscular activity and alter lower limb function. Anterior knee pain is often diagnosed as chondromalacia patella(2). This diagnosis is only correct when a softened and fissured patellar under-surface is seen during diagnostic imaging or surgery(2). Often, no cartilaginous pathological findings are present in patients who otherwise complain of severe knee pain and functional disability, especially during prolonged sitting, stair climbing or sporting activities. The VMO muscle is the dynamic medial stabilizer of the patella. Therefore it is important to understand the anatomy and function of the VMO when treating patients with patellofemoral dysfunction. The fibers of the VMO insert into the patella at an angle of 50-55 degrees from the vertical axis(10)(see figure 1). The VMO is active throughout the full range of extension of the knee and is the only dynamic medial stabilizer of the patella(4). Insufficiency of the VMO will contribute to lateral tracking of the patella(3). Training the VMO is important to prevent lateral tracking of the patella and eliminate patellofemoral dysfunction.

    Anterior (Front) Knee Pain
    Injury Information
    Patella Dislocation/Subluxation:
    The patella, or knee-cap as it is commonly known, is the round shaped bone at the front of the knee. It is used by the powerful leg muscles such as the quadriceps to provide the fulcrum for leverage and power.
    The patella tendon runs down from the knee-cap to connect to the lower leg bone, tibia.
    When bumped with force, the knee-cap can sometimes be moved from its place at the front of the knee to either side but most commonly to the outside. A dislocation has been sustained when it 'pops' out of its groove and stays there. If the patella only slides out part of the way this is known as a subluxation.
    Intense pain and patellofemoral joint swelling will be experienced.
    Patella tendonitis:
    Patella tendonitis usually is caused from excessive stress to the patella tendon. Jumpers knee is a term commonly used. It is not a sudden injury but a wear and tear soreness the you may notice over time during and after activity. Pain will be felt as a burning and will be worst following exercise. Quadriceps tightness and weakness may accompany patella tendon pain Kicking a ball regularly or constantly squatting or climbing stairs might trigger the soreness.
