This review presents objective data, as far as possible, about the current understanding of
the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint as it pertains to the management of …

Tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TTO) is a well-described treatment option for a broad range of
patellofemoral joint disorders, including patellofemoral instability, patellar and trochlear focal …

Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury, Second Edition, presents clear, accessible
explanations of the biomechanical principles of injury and how injuries affect the normal …

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) exhibit
greater patellofemoral joint stress profiles compared to persons who are pain-free …

Background: Patella alta is a condition which may predispose individuals to patellofemoral
joint dysfunction. We compared patellofemoral joint alignment and contact area in subjects …

Study Design Cross-sectional, repeated-measures. Objectives To examine the association
between sagittal plane trunk posture and patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress, and to determine …

Patellofemoral pain is a common and debilitating disorder. Elevated cartilage stress of the
patellofemoral joint is hypothesized to play a role in the onset of pain. Estimating cartilage …

Patellofemoral pain is the most common knee problem encountered by primary care
physicians. A complete understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, and optimal …

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that patella alta leads to a less
favourable situation in terms of patellofemoral contact force, contact area and contact …

The patellofemoral (PF) joint is the knee compartment most commonly affected by
osteoarthritis (OA). Even mild PF OA is associated with considerable pain and functional …
