Abstract

Over a five year period, 137 athletes presented to a Sports Injury Clinic with patello-femoral arthralgia. This was 5.4 of the total injuries seen and a quarter of all knee problems treated. Running contributed to 32 of the athletes with patello-femoral pain. There was a 4:1 male: female ratio and nearly 70 were in the 16-25 year age range. A follow-up questionnaire was sent to 72 athletes seen in the last two years with a 78 response rate. Symptoms and treatment are discussed. After conservative therapy only 28.6 were entirely symptom free with a mean follow up of 13.1 months. Verf.-Referat
