The patellofemoral joint is at the center of several forces, and alterations in any of these force vectors due to muscular imbalance, soft-tissue tightness or laxity, and altered functional movement patterns can all combine to create a painful anterior knee. While typically anterior knee pain is not a surgical entity, the orthopaedic surgeon with an understanding of these biomechanical intricacies is best positioned to provide comprehensive evidence-based care for the patient with anterior knee pain.
