The Kneecap Muddle – how are we going to resolve it?

The medical profession is in a muddle when it comes to the kneecap. We all agree that the medical word for ‘kneecap’ is ‘patella’, but there is a great deal of confusion about many of the other words used to discuss patellar problems. So much so in fact that a group of top level knee surgeons – The International Patellofemoral Study Group – met to examine the problem.

The outcome of their discussions was published in French by Dr Jean-Yves DuPont and in English by Dr Ronald Grelsamer.
