Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) is an important cause of complaint in adolescents which can suggest many possible diseases. Scientific literature concerning this complex symptom is wide and diversified. We report a rare case of patellar osteoid osteoma which affected a thirteen-year-old female who had suffered from anterior left knee pain for almost six months. The diagnosis was suspected from an accurate anamnesis, a careful clinical examination, and confirmed by imaging. Several minimally invasive techniques can be employed to treat osteoid osteoma. However, we consider CT-guided percutaneous drilling the safest and most effective procedure in case of patellar location. Despite its rarity, patellar osteoid osteoma ranges in the differential diagnosis for all patients suffering from AKP.

Abstract Anterior knee pain is one of the main symptoms in osteoarthritis, resulting from the rich sensory innervation of its capsule. Pain control can be difficult to achieve, with non-responders to conservative and medical therapy often requiring a total knee replacement. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a novel technique that could be beneficial in managing anterior knee pain by targeting the genicular nerves around the knee; however, its routine use is not included in current guidelines. A literature search identified fifty-two results, which underwent screening using a study protocol and the final literature sources, of varying levels of evidence, underwent critical appraisal and analysis. The primary outcome included the significant improvement of pain scores from baseline, against their respective control treatments. The ten studies included in the final analysis consisted of seven comparative studies and three non-comparative studies. Literature showed significant improvement in their mean pain scores, all meeting the primary outcome measure. Most studies also showed significant improvement from the control treatments used. Current literature shows evidence that genicular nerve RFA is an effective and safe treatment modality in the management of anterior knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis. However, the literature available is limited and further comparative studies are required.

Background: Anterior knee pain is a frequent condition after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but its origin remains uncertain. Studies have suggested that donor site morbidity in autologous bone–patellar tendon–bone reconstructions may contribute to patellofemoral pain, but this does not explain why hamstring tendon reconstructions may also present with anterior pain. Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of anterior knee pain after ACLR and its predisposing factors. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We evaluated the records of all patients who underwent ACLR between 2000 and 2016 at a private facility. The prevalence of anterior knee pain after surgery was assessed, and possible risk factors (graft type, patient sex, surgical technique, range of motion) were evaluated. Results: The records of 438 patients (mean age, 30 years) who underwent ACLR were analyzed. Anterior knee pain was found in 6.2% of the patients. We found an increased prevalence of anterior knee pain with patellar tendon graft, with an odds ratio of 3.4 ( P = .011). Patients who experienced extension deficit in the postoperative period had an odds ratio of 5.3 of having anterior pain ( P < .001). Anterior knee pain was not correlated with patient sex or surgical technique. Conclusion: The chance of having anterior knee pain after ACLR was higher when patellar tendon autograft was used compared with hamstring tendon graft, as well as in patients who experienced extension deficit in the postoperative period.
