Patellofemoral Arthritis, An Issue of Orthopedic Clinics (Volume 39-3) (The Clinics: Orthopedics, Volume 39-3)

By Wayne Leadbetter

Currently, the salvage of the painful degenerative patellofemoral joint remains one of the most problematic clinical orthopedic complaints. Patellofemoral pain is the most common knee symptom presenting in the clinic and patellofemoral chondromalacia and arthritis are frequently the cause. The evaluation, radiologic assessment, and operative treatment options for the disability of isolated patellofemoral disease, when nonoperative treatment fails, continues to challenge the practitioner. This volume of Orthopedic Clinics defines and explores the current best options as discussed by many of the most notable leaders in the field.
