Diagnosis and treatment of the infrapatellar fat pad disorders: A systematic mapping review
Diagnosing IFP conditions with magnetic resonance imaging is standard, supported by clinical exams. Conservative approaches are prioritized for mild cases, with surgery considered if needed. Limited metrological validation and lack of standardized protocols limit generalizability. Future research should focus on diagnostic accuracy and treatment optimization.
