Behandling af forreste knæsmerter handler om mere end genoptræning af knæet

Patellofemoral pain is a debilitating condition which affects one in 14 adolescents and a similar number of adults. It is characterized by peri- or retropatellar pain during loaded bending of the knee. The purpose of this review is to provide a short, up-to-date review of the diagnostics, differential diagnostics and evidence-based treatment for both adolescents and adults with patellofemoral pain. The key message is that treatments of patellofemoral pain should include a combination of patient education to support self-management and exercises to strengthen the hip and knee muscles.
