Abstract
Isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis is a complex pathology. It occurs frequently in women over 40 years and leads to a high degree of suffering. The causes of femoropatellar degeneration are manifold and require stage-specific therapy. This is very challenging for the treating physician. This article is intended to provide a structured overview of the symptoms, diagnostics and stage-specific therapy of patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
