The Pt is male, 64yrs and presents with local pain (++) of insidious onset on the anterior patellofemoral joint line (1/24). The pain is present on palpation and on loading of the PFJ on walking up and down stairs. The pain disappears completely when the knee is palpated in 80-90 degrees of flexion (I didn't try less flexion than this). He describes the pain as sharp, not diffuse, and patient has no red flags. There is no swelling, inflammation or deformity present.
Any ideas?
