Abstract

Patellofemoral disorders and extensor mechanism dysfunction are common causes of knee pain and lifelong disability if untreated. All ages including young are frequently affected due to such developmental aberrations and acquired disorders of anterior compartment of the knee joint. This chapter reviews normal patellofemoral and extensor compartment anatomy, its pathologies and related clinical symptoms and syndromes. The work is further enriched with prudent discussion of imaging strategies, measurement criteria, and treatment approaches in this domain with illustrative case examples.
