Disorders of patella - what does this mean
Disorders of the patella, also known as patellar disorders, are conditions that affect the kneecap or patella, which is a small bone located at the front of the knee joint. these disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including direct trauma, overuse, misalignment of the kneecap, muscle imbalance, and ligament laxity. symptoms of patellar disorders can include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty with activities such as squatting, running, and jumping. treatment for patellar disorders typically includes rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.
What happens during the disease - disorders of patella
Disorders of the patella are conditions that affect the knee joint and the patella, or kneecap. these conditions can be caused by trauma, such as a direct blow to the knee, or they can be caused by overuse or misalignment of the knee joint. when the patella is misaligned, the quadriceps muscles and the tendons that attach them to the patella can be overstretched or weakened, leading to pain and instability in the knee joint. in some cases, the misalignment can cause the patella to rub against the femur, resulting in additional pain and inflammation.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination of the knee joint
- X-rays of the knee joint
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee joint
- Ultrasound of the knee joint
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the knee joint
- Arthroscopy of the knee joint
- Blood tests to check for inflammation
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve knee function.
- Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve range of motion
- Manual therapy to improve mobility of the knee joint
- Bracing or taping to reduce stress on the patella
- Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and swelling
- Surgery to repair the ligaments or tendons around the patella
7 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Disorders of patella - Prevention
Prevention of disorders of the patella can be achieved by maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding activities that involve excessive pressure on the kneecap. additionally, strengthening the quadriceps muscles and stretching the hamstrings and calf muscles can help to reduce the risk of developing patellar disorders.
