Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Anterior knee pain is a pain that occurs in the front and centre of the knee. It can be caused by a number of conditions: [1]
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Chondromalacia Patellae
- Osgood-Schlatter’s disease
- Sinding Larsen Johansson syndrome
- Plica synovialis syndrome
- Knee bursitis/Hoffa’s disease
- Articular cartilage injury
- Bone tumors: Most patients will experience pain in the area of the tumor. Pain can become worse during physical activity and often awakens patients during the night. Bone mass around the tumor becomes weaker and the bone may fracture as a result. [2]
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Patellafemoral instability/subluxation
| [3] |
- Patellar stress fracture: A stress fracture in the patella is caused by a combination of muscular weakness and muscle contraction which initiates a disturbance in bone remodelling. It reduces shock absorption such that high repetitions of load may lead to a stress fracture. [4]
- Patellar tendinitis
- Patellofemoral osteoarthritis
- Pes anserine bursitis: The anserine bursa is one of 13 bursae found around the knee, located just below the pes anserinus. Patients with pes anserine bursitis often complain of spontaneous knee pain with tenderness in the inferomedial aspect of the knee joint. [5]
- Quadriceps tendinopathy
- Prepatellar bursitis
- Iliotibial band syndrome [6]Clinically Relevant Anatomy
