Adhesions in the deep infrapatellar region may occur as iatrogenic complications (e.g., after bone-patellar tendon-bone grafting), as part of arthrofibrosis or infrapatellar contracture syndrome, or owing to specific diseases such as Osgood-Schlatter disease.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med

Article Synopsis
- This review focuses on advanced non-operative treatments for common causes of anterior knee pain in adults, including techniques like extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and other injection-based therapies.
- Recent findings indicate that ESWT and PRP show the strongest evidence for their effectiveness in treating conditions such as osteoarthritis and patellar tendinopathy, while other treatments like botulinum neurotoxin demonstrate strong support for patellofemoral pain syndrome.
- There is a need for further research to better understand the effectiveness of various treatments for knee pain, as well as to standardize treatment protocols, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions based on patient activity levels and potential risks.
Intra-articular Knee Neurofibroma in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
J Orthop Case Rep

Article Synopsis
- * A case involving a 65-year-old female NF1 patient revealed an intra-articular neurofibroma during surgery for a femur fracture, leading to difficulty in surgical visualization due to a large mass near the knee joint that connected to Hoffa's fat pad.
- * The discovery of this rare intra-articular neurofibroma emphasizes the need for more research into its relation to joint issues such as neuropathic arthropathy, given the limited existing literature on the topic.
3D segmentation and quantitative analysis of age-related changes in the Hoffa fat pad using MRI.

Article Synopsis
- The infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa fat pad) plays a crucial role in the knee joint, and changes in its condition can lead to knee pain and discomfort.
- A study analyzed MRI scans of 100 individuals aged 10-80 years to explore the relationship between age and Hoffa fat pad volume, finding no significant age-related correlation.
- Instead, the research identified strong correlations between Hoffa fat pad volume and variables like height and patellar dimensions, indicating that the fat pad adapts to anatomical changes as individuals grow.
Hoffa's fat pad resection during total knee arthroplasty does not affect functioning and gait: a double-blind randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Hoffa's fat pad is considered a source of anterior knee pain and may limit prosthetic knee function. Resection of Hoffa's fat pad in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), however, is controversial, and little is known about the functional outcomes including gait quality. This double-blind randomized controlled trial (i) compared functional recovery between TKAs where Hoffa was resected or preserved, and (ii) compared recovery of self-reported function with objective (gait-related) outcomes.
