unusual knee pain

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome refers to pain at the front of the knee. It is also called anterior knee pain.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome occurs when the patella does not move or 'track' in a correct fashion when the knee is being bent and straightened. This movement can lead to damage of the surrounding tissues, such as the cartilage on the underside of the patella itself, which can lead to pain in the region. This injury is quite common in people who do a lot of sport, and adolescent girls

Patellofemoral knee pain can also occur following a knee injury, if the muscles of the quadriceps (especially VMO) considerably weaknened.
