Patients with unilateral patellofemoral pain have altered bone turnover in the painful knee compared to the pain-free knee at rest and after acute knee loading
Patella displayed decreased bone metabolism at rest and reduced response to loading in the painful versus pain-free knees. Trochlea in the painful knees showed significantly larger increases in subchondral bone metabolism following knee loading compared to the pain-free knees. These novel findings highlight potential differences in bone turnover between the patellar and trochlear regions.
