Abstract
By biomechanical method the extensor mechanism of the knee is analysed, and the causes of instability and hyperpressure in the patello-femoral syndrome are discussed. Concerning these two entities, the author presents: definition, diagnosis, classification, clinical aspects, differential diagnosis, and surgical and clinical treatment.
