Abstract
|
|
|
|
Anterior knee pain (AKP) is a difficult clinical problem owing to its diverse etiologies, including patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patella, medial plica syndrome, Hoffa’s fat pad syndrome, patellar/quadriceps tendinopathy, lateral patellar compression syndrome, and iliotibial band syndrome. Conservative therapies can resolve AKP; however, surgery may be required in some refractory cases when structural abnormalities are observed. Because AKP has a high degree of chronicity, orthopedic surgeons should adhere to standard treatment protocols, including exercise therapy.
