Abstract

Anterior knee pain is a common symptom in orthopaedic practice. Various conditions can affect the anterior knee, and treatment outcome depends on adequate diagnosis, but this is sometimes very difficult to establish. Nowadays, modern diagnostic and imaging procedures (CT, MRI, scintigraphy, arthroscopy) can make diagnosis more accurate and precise. Furthermore, improved surgical techniques and technologies in the treatment of cartilage, tendon, internal knee derangements, make outcomes in some diagnostic categories more favorable than previously. In this article, we describe our experience of the diagnosis and treatment of patellofemoral disorders, extensor tendon overuse, synovial plicae, bursal, bone and meniscal pathology - the predominant causes of anterior knee pain.
