Abstract

Patellofemoral problems are frequently encountered in adolescents and may affect daily activities and even limit athletic activities [1]. The two most common forms of these problems are patellofemoral instability and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Success in treatment program depends on a precise understanding of the origin or underlying cause of the patellofemoral problem. In this brief review, the current literature for treatment of immature and adolescent athletes with patellofemoral disorders were reviewed.
