Abstract
The vast majority of patients with patellofemoral pain respond to conservative treatment. Nonoperative management consists of rest and avoidance of activities producing increased patellofemoral pressure, combined with quadriceps strengthening exercises with the knee extended. Anti-inflammatory drugs and special braces may assist in the treatment program.Entities:
