Anterior knee pain syndrome
Abstract
The aim of this study was to correlate the distribution of substance-P nerve fibres within the knee joint in 20 patients complaining of anterior knee pain syndrome, with the clinical picture, patellar motion, power of the quadriceps mechanism, and the psychological profile. A comparison was made with 2 similar groups of patients with knee problems (patients with osteoarthrosis and patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture or meniscal lesions), and with a further group of 20 healthy volunteers. The results suggest that anterior knee pain might be a psychosomatic syndrome associated with sub-clinical patellar instability and with little if any relation to levels of physical activity.
Le but de cette recherche est d`établir la corrélation entre la distrubution de la substance P de fibres nerveuses de l`articulation du genou avec l’aspect clinique, le mouvement de la rotule, l`évaluation des muscles extenseurs et la personalité des malades. Le groupe examiné a été comparé avec 3 groupes de controle: 20 malades avec le genou arthrosique, 20 malades avec une rupture du ligament croisé antérieur ou une lesion du ménisque et 20 personnes en bonne santé. Les résultats de cette recherche suggèrent que le syndrome de la dou-leur antérieure du genou parait être un syndrome psychosomatique avec l`instabilité subclinique de la rotule laquelle ne dépend pas du niveau de l`activité du patient.
