Patellofemoral arthritis is the degeneration of cartilage under the kneecap, often caused by wear, previous knee injuries, or improper kneecap alignment.

Common symptoms include knee pain during stairs, sitting, or squatting, potentially leading to chronic discomfort and reduced mobility if untreated. Diagnosis involves clinical examination and imaging like X-rays or MRI. Early intervention and physiotherapy are essential to manage pain, increase knee strength, and prevent further joint damage. Complications can include chronic stiffness and the need for surgery in severe cases. Adopting preventive strategies—such as low-impact exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and seeking prompt medical attention for persistent knee pain—can help reduce the risk of progression and support long-term knee health.
