Infrapatellar bursitis is inflammation of the superficial or deep infrapatellar bursa. [3] Symptoms may include knee pain, swelling, and redness just below the kneecap. [2] It may be complicated by patellar tendonitis. [1] Risk factors include kneeling or crawling. [4]
Infrapatellar fat pad syndrome, also known as Hoffa's disease, is when pain in the front of the knee occurs due to problems with the infrapatellar fat pad. [2] Pain is generally just below the kneecap. [2] Symptoms may worsen if the knee is overly straightened or bent for too long a period. [2]
Symptoms: Pain in the front of the knee [1] Usual onset: Gradual [2] Causes: Unclear [1] Risk factors: Trauma, increased training, weak quadriceps muscle [1] Diagnostic method: Based on symptoms and examination [3] Differential diagnosis: Patellar tendinopathy, infrapatellar bursitis, infrapatellar fat pad syndrome, chondromalacia patellae [2 ...
The infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's fat pad) is a cylindrical piece of fat that is situated inferior and posterior to the patella bone within the knee, [1] intervening between the patellar ligament and synovial fold of the knee joint.
Diagnosis is generally based on symptoms and examination. [2] Other conditions that can appear similar include infrapatellar bursitis, chondromalacia patella and patellofemoral syndrome. [1] [2] Treatment often involves resting the knee and physical therapy. [2] Evidence for treatments, including rest, however is poor.
the deep infrapatellar bursa between the upper part of the tibia and the patellar ligament. [2] It allows for movement of the patellar ligament over the tibia. [4] the subcutaneous (or superficial) infrapatellar bursa between the patellar ligament and skin. [2] the pretibial bursa between the tibial tuberosity and the skin. [2]
Pain in the groin, called anterior hip pain, is most often the result of osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, occult fracture, acute synovitis, and septic arthritis; pain on the sides of the hip, called lateral hip pain, is usually caused by bursitis; pain in the buttock, called posterior or gluteal hip pain, which is the least common type of hip ...
Anteriorly, the infrapatellar fat pad is inserted below the patella and between the two membranes. It extends from the lower margin of the patella above, to the infrapatellar synovial fold below. With its free upper margin, this fold extends dorsally through the joint space to surround the two cruciate ligaments from the front, thus dividing ...
