W G Carson, and S L James, and R L Larson, and K M Singer, and W W Winternitz

Patellofemoral disorders present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. By the sequential application of such basic diagnostic tools as inspection, palpation, and various measurements to a patient in standing, sitting, supine, and prone positions, a reproducible, comprehensive physical examination of the patellofemoral joint and entire lower extremity may be achieved.
