Simple prepatellar bursitis is easily diagnosed both clinically and by MRI. MRI shows the typical T1 and T2 lengthening of fluid within the bursa.

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.
