Ep. 69 - Lateral Patella Tracking: A Tendon, VMO or Bone Problem?

We dive into a paper looking at a relatively novel measurement of quadriceps tendon alignment which has been associated with lateral patella tracking and lateral facet patellofemoral osteoarthritic changes. Is it just the tendon or the whole muscle? Does VMO volume differ with tendon position? We then go on to discuss investigating recalcitrant anterior knee pain and the reasoning for this. James takes some well deserved heat for missing two weeks. Please note, this episode is not intended to be medical advice.

We dive into a paper looking at a relatively novel measurement of quadriceps tendon alignment which has been associated with lateral patella tracking and lateral facet patellofemoral osteoarthritic changes.


Is it just the tendon or the whole muscle? Does VMO volume differ with tendon position? We then go on to discuss investigating recalcitrant anterior knee pain and the reasoning for this.


James takes some well deserved heat for missing two weeks.
