Conservative treatment in primary acute LPD (lateral patellar dislocation) is the therapy of choice. It includes a multimodal approach with behavioural education of the patient, physical therapy, braces, weight reduction and pain medication. [4] Physical therapy especially focuses on muscle strengthening and proprioceptive exercises.
X-ray of the knee of a 12-year-old male, showing knee effusion of medium severity, marked by black arrows. It displaces the patella anteriorly and extends into the suprapatellar bursa. An X-ray is useful to verify that there is no break or dislocation when there is a history of trauma. May show signs of osteoarthritis.
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]
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 ...
Damage to the saphenous nerve and its infrapatellar branch is possible during medial knee surgery, potentially causing numbness or pain over the medial knee and leg. [7] As with all surgeries, there is a risk of bleeding, wound problems, deep vein thrombosis , and infection that can complicate the outcome and rehabilitation process.
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
Symptoms vary from localized warmth and erythema (redness) [1] to joint pain and stiffness, to stinging pain that surrounds the joint around the inflamed bursa. [ citation needed ] Bursitis could possibly also cause a snapping, grinding or popping sound – known as snapping scapula syndrome – when it occurs in the shoulder joint.
This could involve the medial, lateral, central, or bicondylar (medial and lateral). [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the knee. [1] People are generally unable to walk. [2] Complication may include injury to the artery or nerve, arthritis, and compartment syndrome. [1]
