The most common symptom is pain surrounding the knee cap when sitting with bent knees (movie sign) or when performing exercises like climbing stairs or squatting. Different treatments can be tried to reduce the pain and difficulties experienced during daily activities, including drugs and massage. Exercise regimens to strengthen the muscles surrounding and supporting the knee are another option. The review of exercise therapy found some evidence that exercise therapy might help to reduce the pain of PFPS. Whether exercise reduces knee problems during daily activities is unclear however, and more trials are needed.

It is associated with irritation or wear on the underside of the kneecap, or patella. What is going on in the body? Normally, the cartilage on the underside of the kneecap glides smoothly over the surface of the thighbone, or femur. The cartilage may become soft or rough due to the normal aging process, overuse, or injury. What are the causes and risks of the condition? Possible causes of CMP include: overuse of the knee, such as running or exercising beyond tolerance

86. KNEE PAIN IN ATHLETES 2 Medial pain syndrome. The gradual onset of pain aggravated by twisting, anterior knee pain. Many people, of all ages and sporting activity, have pain http://www.kneeclinic.com.au/papers/ArthProcedures.htm

Knee Clinic Home About Dr. Mervyn Cross Information for patients Papers online ... Presentations online Other info R.L.Morgan-Jones Knee Fellow M.J.Cross O.A.M. Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon There are many knee operations that can be performed using an arthroscope. Most operations can be done as a day-case procedure although many patients require a period of muscle strengthening afterwards to obtain the best outcome. Below is an outline of the commonest "knee syndromes" and the arthroscopic procedures used to treat them. 1: Locked Knee A torn meniscus can displace into the knee joint causing a mechanical block to extension and resulting in pain and muscle spasm. The classic type of meniscal tear producing a locked knee is the "Bucket Handle" tear. The torn meniscus remains attached front and back allowing the central torn portion to flip into the knee joint like the handle of a bucket. As the pain and spasm reduce the displaced meniscus can drop back allowing the knee to move freely again. This mechanical "locking" of the knee can be an intermittent feature with symptomless periods of in-between episodes. 2: Medial Pain Syndrome The gradual onset of pain aggravated by twisting, squatting and catching your toe; as well as pain at night when you sleep on the side with legs together. This is typical of a cleavage tear of the medial (inner) meniscus which can intermittently be "pinched" by the knee joint as it flexes or twists suddenly. In-between episodes the torn portion of meniscus can fold away under the untorn meniscus and the knee become pain free.

87. Exercise Therapy For Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Cochrane Review) Background Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common problem among reducing anterior knee pain and improving knee function in patients with PFPS. http://www.update-software.com/abstracts/AB003472.htm

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2005 Exercise therapy for patellofemoral pain syndrome (Cochrane Review) Heintjes E, Berger MY, Bierma-Zeinstra SMA, Bernsen RMD, Verhaar JAN, Koes BW ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 17 June 2003. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common problem among adolescents and young adults, characterised by retropatellar pain (behind the kneecap) or peripatellar pain (around the kneecap) when ascending or descending stairs, squatting or sitting with flexed knees. Etiology, structures causing the pain and treatment methods are all debated in literature, but consensus has not been reached so far. Exercise therapy to strengthen the quadriceps is often prescribed, though its efficacy is still debated. Objectives: This review aims to summarise the evidence of effectiveness of exercise therapy in reducing anterior knee pain and improving knee function in patients with PFPS. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Injuries Group and Cochrane Rehabilitation and Related Therapies Field specialised registers, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, PEDro - The Physiotherapy Evidence Database, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, up till December 2001 for controlled trials (randomised or not) comparing exercise therapy with control groups, or comparing different types of exercise therapy.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2005 Pharmacotherapy for patellofemoral pain syndrome (Cochrane Review) Heintjes E, Berger MY, Bierma-Zeinstra SMA, Bernsen RMD, Verhaar JAN, Koes BW ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 05 April 2004. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is common among adolescents and young adults. It is characterised by pain behind or around the patella and crepitations, provoked by ascending or descending stairs, squatting, prolonged sitting with flexed knees, running and cycling. The symptoms impede function in daily activities or sports. Pharmacological treatments focus on reducing pain symptoms (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticosteroids), or restoring the assumed underlying pathology (compounds containing glucosamine to stimulate cartilage metabolism, anabolic steroids to increase bone density of the patella and build up supporting muscles). In studies, drugs are usually applied in addition to exercises aimed at building up supporting musculature. Objectives: This review aims to summarise the evidence of effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in reducing anterior knee pain and improving knee function in people with PFPS.

Home Injury Regions Knee Anterior (Front) Knee Pain Anterior (Front) Knee Pain Injury Information Patella Dislocation/Subluxation: The patella, or knee-cap as it is commonly known, is the round shaped bone at the front of the knee. It is used by the powerful leg muscles such as the quadriceps to provide the fulcrum for leverage and power. The patella tendon runs down from the knee-cap to connect to the lower leg bone, tibia. When bumped with force, the knee-cap can sometimes be moved from its place at the front of the knee to either side but most commonly to the outside. A dislocation has been sustained when it 'pops' out of its groove and stays there. If the patella only slides out part of the way this is known as a subluxation. Intense pain and patellofemoral joint swelling will be experienced. Patella tendonitis: Patella tendonitis usually is caused from excessive stress to the patella tendon. Jumpers knee is a term commonly used. It is not a sudden injury but a wear and tear soreness the you may notice over time during and after activity. Pain will be felt as a burning and will be worst following exercise. Quadriceps tightness and weakness may accompany patella tendon pain Kicking a ball regularly or constantly squatting or climbing stairs might trigger the soreness.

Feels better keep trading legs". Selected full citations from 565 MEDLINE records Jumper's knee is an overuse disease. The initial subjective complaints are well-localized pain, usually occurring after physical activities and often at the lower pole of the patella. The diagnosis of jumper's knee is usually easily established after acquiring a detailed history and a carefully performed physical examination, but the lesion can be mistaken for other disorders or injuries, such as bursitis, meniscal injuries or chondromalacia (1) or other causes of the patellofemoral pain syndrome. Today ultrasonography is the method of choice for the evaluation of jumper's knee as it is both time and cost saving, non- invasive, repeatable, accurate and allows a dynamic image of the tendon, guided injections and control of treatment. Conservative therapy is the treatment of choice in the early stages and includes adequate warm-up, stretching of the quadriceps muscle and physical activity with respect to the pain, and ice pack application after activity. When the pain disappears, the training intensity can be increased. NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and local peritendinous injections with long-acting steroids can be a helpful and safe adjuvant to the conservative treatment and should be tried before surgery (

95. Anterior Knee Pain anterior knee pain (pain in front of the knee) is the most common knee injury anterior knee pain usually develops gradually due to the repetitive motion http://www.iahsaa.org/wu02-8.html

WELLNESS UPDATE 2002, #8 ANTERIOR KNEE PAIN Anterior knee pain (pain in front of the knee) is the most common knee injury in athletes. Anterior knee pain usually develops gradually due to the repetitive motion of the patella (knee cap) sliding up and down, rather than due to a single, sudden injury. This occurs most often in sports requiring a great deal of running and jumping. Here is a typical progression of the symptoms of anterior knee pain: Sitting for an extended period of time causes an ache or stiffness, often behind the kneecap. This pain goes away when the joint is "warmed up" and during exercise. A few hours after exercise the stiffness returns. 2) If nothing is done to treat the ache and stiffness, the pain usually begins to be present throughout the exercise period Pain is felt when squatting, kneeling and walking down stairs. Movement of the knee cap and climbing stairs causes a "crunching" sound. 5) The athlete may feel that the knee is "giving out" when running or jumping The pain is often most noticeable when the athlete gets out of bed in the morning or after they have been sitting with their legs in one position for a long period. The pain usually lessens as the knee is used, or "warmed up," during normal, everyday activity.

Discussion Groups Knee Problem: Chondromalacia Patella This disease is also known as softening of the cartilage of your knee cap or "anterior knee pain". This is a big medical word for a condition where the shiny cartilage surface of your patella (knee cap) is softened due to many factors including abnormal pressure across the joint surface or hormonal changes in your body. This pain is usually located over the front of your knee and is described as a deep aching pain. It is sometimes associated with swelling and is usually worse when your knee is bent for long periods of time such sitting in a car or bus. The pain is also worse with such activities as squatting, kneeling or stair climbing (either up or down stairs). The pain is sometimes improved with rest and the use of pain medication. It is sometimes associated with mild or moderate swelling of the knee and some people report a grinding feeling in their kneecap. It is more common in younger females especially after a growth spurt where the knee must carry more weight.
