Patellofemoral kinematics were studied on a computer model. The articulating point of the patella moves from distal to proximal during flexion, until the quadriceps tendon starts to turn around the femur tendofemoral gliding. The pattern of patellofemoral movement consists of a gliding and rolling c
The patella as the largest sesamoid bone of the human body forms the patellofemoral joint with the patellar groove of the femur. The patellofemoral joint is a complex articulation with high functional and biomechanical requirements. Several anatomical variants of both patella and the trochlea exist.
## Abstract Patellofemoral pain is characterized by pain behind the kneecap and is often thought to be due to high stress at the patellofemoral joint. While we cannot measure bone stress in vivo, we can visualize bone metabolic activity using ^18^F NaF PET/CT, which may be related to bone stress. O
