Fat pad impingement syndrome in a 25-year-old woman with atraumatic anterior knee pain. uuid:B403005191FE11DF9C399E1C92976CB5 In the axial plane, it has a long shallow lateral facet and a shorter medial facet divided by the median ridge, which is normally aligned with the central trochlea (30). At MRI, the normal tendon demonstrates low signal intensity and well-defined margins that are flattened proximally and assume a semilunar anterior convexity distally near its tuberosity attachment (52). A double-layered tendon is a rare variant, with a thickened tendon with intermediate signal intensity between distinct patellar layers (57). SlJKeU+sjsYdSItuwK3bG+3KpdZZ3/ODTokpyt+F/wByekf+wz//ACCSlb8L/uT0j/2Gf/5BJSt+ Together, these structures form a network of static and dynamic stabilizers that converge centrally at the patella (27).

Anterior Suprapatellar (Quadriceps) Fat Pad.The anterior suprapatellar fat pad, also known as the quadriceps fat pad, is a wedge-shaped structure that sits at the superior patella behind the quadriceps insertion. There is tendinosis and partial tearing of the quadriceps tendon at its insertion on the upper patella (arrow in a) and thickening of the rectus femoris fibers overlying the anterior patella (arrowheads in b), which are partially separated at the upper enthesis. Anteriorly, it is covered by fibers from the rectus femoris. Fluid and edema along the course of the plica have been reported as a sign of acute infrapatellar plica injury (109), but the specificity of this finding is low, as fluid may also be seen along its course in the setting of a large effusion (Fig 38). Uncommonly, these may be thickened, irregular, and partially stripped at their enthesis, resulting in anterior knee pain (30). Figure 24a. ); Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, Calif (J.A.L. While dynamic quadriceps balance is important for patellofemoral stabilization, it is currently believed that the most important soft-tissue stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint is the static restraint afforded by the medial retinaculum, particularly its constituent MPFL.

Note the cortical irregularity at the tibial tuberosity (arrows). Recently had increased pain reducing my walking to one hour on the flat. Hip impingement (also known as femoral acetabular impingement). CT demonstrates hyperattenuating nodules, whereas dual-energy CT allows more accurate differentiation of urate from calcification (128). While bursitis in this location is characteristic of active Osgood-Schlatter disease, it can also be caused by gout, sepsis, hemorrhage, and fat pad contracture (18,66). Treatment aims to reduce the pressure behind the patella by improving the biomechanics in the lower limb. (a) Sagittal section of a cadaveric knee after intrabursal injection of the superficial prepatellar bursae (green) and superficial infrapatellar bursa (red). This is an important diagnosis as the displaced bone-forming tissue will continue to grow and ossify, enlarging, and possibly duplicating the patella. Superolateral edema correlates with markers of patellar instability such as increased patellar tendonpatellar length ratio, lateral patellar tilt, shallower trochlear sulcus, and patella alta (98). They more commonly occur in the medial meniscus and are often associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.. Radiographic features MRI.

MRI findings indicating MPFL injury include thickening, intraligamentous fluid, waviness of the fibers, and frank discontinuity (88). The relative weakness of the immature physis relative to the developing strength of the musculature during adolescence predisposes the tibial tuberosity to avulsion, either via forceful quadriceps contraction in knee extension or due to rapid passive flexion of the knee against the contracting quadriceps (63,64). Figure 43a. The obliquus fibers are less vertical than those in the main muscles and insert on either side of the patella, enabling them to pull the patella in either a medial or lateral direction, playing an important role in dynamic patellar stabilization, particularly in the last 15 of extension (67,72).
