Updated: Patellofemoral Arthroplasty Conversion to Total Knee Arthroplasty
I recently participated in a study to perform a retrieval analysis with clinical correlation to look at high rates of infection after conversion of patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) seen in an earlier study.
Increased Risk of Patellofemoral Arthritis: The Sagittal Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove Distance
Sreetha Sidharthan M.D. and I recently published this commentary about how posterior tibial tubercle relative to the trochlear groove is associated with increased risk of patellofemoral arthritis.
Eccentric Cycling As A Treatment for Patellar Tendinopathy
The typical treatment for patellar tendinopathy is a combination of activity modification and a focus on cross training as well as eccentric strengthening.
Assessment of Patellar Vascularity after Patellar Cartilage Restoration via Lateral Parapatellar Approach
I recently published an article about assessing patellar vascularity after patellar cartilage restoration via a lateral parapatellar approach, doing analysis using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Establishing minimal detectable change thresholds and Kujala scores at one and two years after patellofemoral joint arthroplasty
Establishing minimal detectable change thresholds for the international knee documentation committee and Kujala scores at one and two years after patellofemoral joint arthroplasty
Discussing Patellar Tracking Abnormalities and Patellar Instability
recently joined Dan Braun on the Brawn Body Health and Fitness podcast. We talked about patellar tracking abnormalities and patellar instability. So first of all, the patella is the kneecap – and a lot of people start having patellar pain when they’re teenagers.
Understanding Patellofemoral (Kneecap) Instability and Pain
In this short video I explain what patellofemoral instability is, what causes pain, how it feels, why it happens, and how it can be fixed.
It’s the Patellofemoral Height
Is it patella baja (abnormally lying patella) or patella alta (a high patella)? New study shows patellofemoral height may be more consequential than previously thought.
