Symptoms include pain in the front of the knee. [1] Typically the pain and tenderness is at the lower part of the kneecap, though the upper part may also be affected. [2] Generally there is no pain when the person is at rest. [2] Complications may include patellar tendon rupture. [2] Risk factors include being involved in athletics and being ...
Patellar subluxation syndrome is an injury involving the kneecap.Patellar subluxation is more common than patellar dislocation and is just as disabling. [1]In this condition, the patella repetitively subluxates and places strain on the medial restraints and excessive stress/tension on the patellofemoral joint.
The suprapatellar plica dividing the suprapatellar recess; The infrapatellar plica, in front of the anterior cruciate ligament, reaches from the intercondylar notch to the infrapatellar fat pad; The medial patellar plica, located adjacent to the patella's medial facet, runs vertically along the medial joint capsule
Type II: Notch is a blunted V-shape occupying the middle third of the superior border. Type III: Notch is U-shaped with nearly parallel margins. Type IV: Notch is V-shaped and very small. A shallow groove is frequently formed for the suprascapular nerve adjacent to the notch. Type V: Notch is minimal and U-shaped with a partially ossified ligament.
Often there is sudden onset of pain and walking is difficult. [1] In a complete rupture, the ability to extend that knee is decreased. [1] A pop may be felt when it occurs. [2] Injury to the patellar tendon generally requires a significant force such as falling directly on the knee or jumping from a height. [1]
The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the lower ...
Radial nerve dysfunction is a problem associated with the radial nerve resulting from injury consisting of acute trauma to the radial nerve.The damage has sensory consequences, as it interferes with the radial nerve's innervation of the skin of the posterior forearm, lateral three digits, and the dorsal surface of the lateral side of the palm.
X-ray of the knee of a 12-year-old male, with knee effusion extending into the suprapatellar bursa.. In front, there are five bursae: the suprapatellar bursa or recess between the anterior surface of the lower part of the femur and the deep surface of the quadriceps femoris. [2]
