title: [Using arthroscopy for dynamic assessment of the patello-femoral joint in patients with anterior knee pain].
abstract: Arthroscopic assessment of patello-femoral dynamics in 20 females aged from 15 to 23 years with anterior knee pain syndrome has been compared to MRI study done in this group previously. Arthroscopic evaluation was done according to Lindberg et al. The study suggests, that arthroscopy is an useful technique in evaluation of patello-femoral instability, giving a chance for treatment of other intraarticular disorders (if present) contributing to knee pain.
