Femoropatellar osteoarthritisFemoropatellar osteoarthritis is knee pain associated with inflammation of the articular cartilage caused by friction forces in the articular cartilage of the kneecap against the articular surface of the femur and tibia. During knee flexion, the kneecap slides through a channel in the femur called the intercondyle fossa, which fits the shape of the kneecap; so the movement is so smooth and painless, with as little friction as possible. An anatomical alteration of the tibia, excessive valgus, or other situations can change the biomechanics of the knee, increasing friction between the articular surfaces and creating the conditions for the onset of this syndrome. This syndrome may be caused by bone abnormalities, trauma, or results from retractions / laxity of soft tissues, in which case we speak of patellar hyperpressure. It mainly affects girls and athletes, especially runners and jumpers, i.e. sports with repeated knee flexion.TreatmentThe Patella ProsthesisDr. Leopoldo Maizo - Orthopedic SurgeonOriginally posted: https://steemit.com/fundition/@drmaizo/femoropatellar-osteoarthritis-and-femoropatellar-prosthesis-1556373771
