ABSTRACT
A 20-year-old National Serviceman presented with left knee pain and swelling after training for his physical fitness test. Lateral knee radiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed patellar tendon-lateral femoral condyle friction syndrome (PT-LFCFS), on a background of patella alta and patellar malalignment. The patient was treated non-operatively with a course of physiotherapy and given advice on rest and activity modification. PT-LFCFS is a less well-recognised but important cause of anterior knee pain and represents an entity in a spectrum of disorders related to patellofemoral instability. We herein discuss the MR imaging findings specific to and associated with this condition, as well as briefly describing treatment options. In addition, we showcase a range of commonly encountered abnormalities that affect the infrapatellar fat pad and briefly discuss their specific MR imaging findings.
