Narrative: Review of Anterior Knee Pain Differential Diagnosis (Other than Patellofemoral Pain)

Authors: Anne Kuwabara, Michael Fredericson

Published in: Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine | Issue 3/2021

Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review presents a framework for constructing a differential diagnosis for chronic anterior knee pain associated with overuse other than patellofemoral pain. Traumatic, systemic, and pediatric injuries will not be covered.

Recent Findings

From superficial to deep, the anterior knee can be conceptually organized into four layers: (1) soft tissue, (2) extensor mechanism, (3) intracapsular/extrasynovial, and (4) intra-articular.

Summary

From superficial to deep, diagnoses to consider include bursitis, patellar and quadriceps tendinosis, fat pad impingement, and plica syndromes.
