Patellofemoral pain, stability and patellofemoral arthritis are a
major problem among the younger and older aged individuals. Especially,
with the populations where social habits include in load bearing daily
activities with deep flexions such as kneeling and squatting. A proper
understanding of the knee joint biomechanics may help in significantly
improve the prevention and treatment of such disorders. Studies on tendons,
cartilages, meniscus, ligaments, bones are continuously been studied and
simulated analytically and experimentally with respect to tibiofemoral and
patellofemoral joints to observe the behavior during different conditions that
prevail within the genders.
Apart from the studies mentioned, various other observational
studies like arthroplasty, grafting techniques, resurfacing trochlear groove,
maltracking of femur, with respect to tibia, maltracking of patella with respect
to femur, patellar kinematics such as rotation, flexion, titling are constantly
been studied and observed through which various inferences and
contradictions evolve which leads the to explore more deeper in the field of
orthopedics to determine the factors that affect and contribute to the joint.
However age, gender, height, weight and the natural geometry of the each
bone plays an important role in each individual leading each case to conclude
with different inferences.
