RESUMEN
El síndrome de dolor patelofemoral puede ser definido como dolor retropatelar o peripatelar resultante de cambios físicos y bioquímicos en la articulación patelofemoral. En ortopedia, las causas más comunes serían el sobreuso, el mal alineamiento patelofemoral y el trauma. Presentamos un caso del uso de radiofrecuencia pulsada selectiva de los nervios patelares, medial y lateral, para el tratamiento del dolor patelofemoral postraumático crónico. La radiofrecuencia pulsada puede ser una opción mínimamente invasiva para el tratamiento del síndrome de dolor patelofemoral postraumático...
ABSTRACT
Patellofemoral pain syndrome can be defined as retropatellar or peripatellar pain resulting from physical and biochemical changes in the patellofemoral joint. In orthopaedics, the most common causes include overuse, patellofemoral malalignment, and trauma. The case is reported of chronic post-traumatic patellofemoral pain syndrome treated with pulsed radiofrequency of both the medial and lateral patellar nerves. Pulsed radiofrequency might be a minimally invasive option for treatment of post-traumatic patellofemoral pain syndrome...
