Bone Metabolic Activity in the Patellofemoral Joint in Patients With Unilateral PFP

NCT03784235 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 27

Last updated 2022-05-31

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to examine whether individuals with unilateral patellofemoral pain (PFP) have increased subchondral bone remodelling and thus increased 18F Sodium Fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake in the painful knee compared to the opposite knee measured by simultaneous positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) and to examine whether the increased uptake is associated with pain intensity, with patient-reported function and with pain localization. Furthermore we aim to investigate the effect of an acute patellofemoral loading bout on the bone remodelling.
