Pain Decrement Using Radiofrequency Therapy After Knee Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections Within First 72 h in Active Populations with Patellar Chondropathy.

To determine whether 448 kHz capacitive-resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMR) after platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections can further reduce pain sensation within the first 72 h in an active population with patellar chondropathy. One-hundred fifty-three active patients with patellar chondropathy grade II-III were followed for three days after PRP injections with and without CRMR under a control-placebo study. They were clinically evaluated for pain sensation using a visual analog scale ranging from zero (no pain sensation) to ten (highest pain sensation).

The role of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) in knee osteoarthritis is not understood. This study aimed to identify relationships between MRI-based signal abnormalities in the IPFP and measures of structural pathology and symptom severity in PFJOA, as well as investigate the influence of obesity and sex on these relationships. Seventy participants (ages 28-80) with isolated PFJOA underwent bilateral knee MRI scan acquisitions and completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS).

Background: Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) diseases are chronic degenerative conditions that contribute to knee joint symptoms. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is widely regarded as an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA); however, its specific indications remain a subject of debate.
Hypothesis: Patients with PFJ disease are expected to experience outcomes post-UKA comparable to those of patients without PFJ disease.
Radiological Approach to Assessment of Lower-Limb Alignment-Coronal and Transverse Plane Analysis.

Lower-limb alignment deformities constitute a significant clinical concern, as they can lead to serious complications, including progressive degenerative diseases and disabilities. Rotational deformities may give rise to conditions such as joint arthrosis, patellar instability, and the degeneration of the patellofemoral cartilage. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of lower-limb alignment is essential for the effective patient management, preoperative planning, and successful correction of these deformities.

Article Synopsis
- This case series focuses on three French bulldogs diagnosed with patellar maltracking, a condition where the patella does not move properly, without actual luxation (dislocation).
- All dogs demonstrated similar symptoms, including intermittent lameness in one hind leg and significant joint issues between the patella and trochlea's medial ridge.
- Surgical intervention through patellar groove replacement was successfully performed, resulting in excellent outcomes and high owner satisfaction, suggesting this procedure may be an effective first option for treating patellar maltracking.
