TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Patellofemoral Pathologies A1 - Starkey, Chad A1 - Brown, Sara D. PY - 2015 T2 - Examination of Orthopedic & Athletic Injuries, 4e AB - Although the patellofemoral (PF) articulation is an integral part of the knee, the two areas are separated in this text because of the differences in the mechanisms and onset of injury. Injury to the patellofemoral articulation is the result of overuse, congenital malalignment, structural insufficiency, impaired motor control, or trauma. The mechanics of the PF joint are interdependent with the foot, ankle, knee, and hip. Examination of individuals with nonacuteonset patellofemoral pathology should include the entire lower extremity, lumbar region, and gait biomechanics. SN - PB - F. A.
