Objective: The purpose of this commentary was to critically appraise the patellofemoral pain clinical practice guideline published by the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy in 2019 and to summarize their recommendations for chiropractic practice.
Methods: Quality and reporting of this guideline was assessed with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) instrument. Three reviewers independently scored between 1-7 (strongly disagree-strongly agree) for 23 items organized into six quality domains.
Results: AGREE II quality domain scores ranged between 57%-98%, with overall quality of the recommendation rated 89%. The guideline contained evidence summaries and/or recommendations for three topics: impairment/function-based diagnosis; examination; and interventions.
Conclusion: Based on its methodological quality, we recommend the use of this guideline for the examination, diagnosis, and management of patellofemoral pain in chiropractic practice. A summary of recommendations from this guideline is presented for use within the scope of chiropractic practice in Canada.

Intraoperatively identified patellofemoral osteoarthritis: no significant impact on short-term outcomes of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Background And Objective: The efficacy of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with intraoperatively identified patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) has been a subject of debate. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the early outcomes of UKA in patients with varying intraoperative PFOA conditions and to explore the relationship between the location of PFOA and the position of the prosthesis post-UKA. Our aim was to determine whether the presence of PFOA affects the short-term success of medial UKA.

: Abnormalities in patellar tracking, often overlooked in surgical planning, have been identified as a contributing factor to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) complications, including anterior knee pain, patellar subluxation, and dislocation. This study aims to evaluate the repeatability of a novel intraoperative setup for assessing patellofemoral kinematics and its interaction with prosthesis design and positioning during surgery. This setup may support personalized alignment techniques in TKA, potentially improving surgical outcomes.

Patellar pathologies are a common cause of knee dysfunction, with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) alone responsible for 25% of knee-related visits to sports medicine clinics. Non-traumatic conditions, while often overlooked, can also lead to significant discomfort and functional limitations, highlighting the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis for effective management and prevention of complications. This pictorial review examines the radiologic characteristics of various non-traumatic patellar disorders, focusing on imaging modalities such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Background: There is a lack of evidence and continuous debate on whether femoral tunnel displacement substantially influences the clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate possible associations between inaccurate femoral tunnel placement during MPFL-R and clinical outcomes, with a specific focus on proximal tunnel malpositioning.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Department of Exercise Rehabilitation, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran.
Background: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress as a primary mechanical stimulus in the patellofemoral pain (PFP) etiology is affected by plantar pressure symmetry. This study evaluated how pain exacerbation affects rear foot eversion and plantar pressure distribution symmetry.
Method: Sixty women with PFP participated in this study.
