Introduction: The patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common condition in orthopedic practice, is defined as a pain or retropatellar in the absence of other diseases of the knee, multifactorial. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a physiotherapy intervention in a patient with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: We performed a descriptive study, through a case report with physical therapy assessment data and the description of the techniques used during treatment. Results: The results showed range of motion improves, the manifestations of pain and patellar mobility. Conclusion: The proposed physical therapy treatment given to this patient proved to be efficient, but a greater number of physical therapy sessions is required in order to obtain better results.

SummaryDuring the collection of samples for plasma β-thromboglobulin (β-TG) determination, it is well established that artificially high values can be observed due to in-vitro release. To estimate the reliability of a single β-TG measurement, blood samples were collected simultaneously from both arms on two separate occasions in 56 diabetic patients selected for a clinical trial. From each arm, blood was taken into two tubes containing an anticoagulant mixture with (tube A) and without (tube B) PGE!. The overall mean value of B-TG in tube B was 1.14 times higher than in tube A (p <0.01). The markedly large between-arms variation accounted for the most part of within-subject variation in both tubes and was significantly greater in tube B than in tube A. Based on the difference between B-TG values from both arms, the number of subjects with artifically high B-TG values was significantly higher in tube B than in tube A on each occasion (overall rate: 28% and 14% respectively). Estimate of between-occasions variation showed that B-TG levels were relatively stable for each subject between two occasions in each tube. It is concluded that the use of PGEi decreases falsely high B-TG levels, but a single measurement of B-TG does not provide a reliable estimate of the true B-TG value in vivo.

Purpose. The aim of the present study was to investigate tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance dynamics in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and pain free individuals by using full weight bearing kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) And correlation with patellar instability. Materials and methods. 51 female individuals with PFP and 26 pain free female individuals participated in the study. The kinematic MRI was performed with 1,5 T MRI unit and full-weight bearing. TT-TG distance, bissect offset (BSO) and patellar tilt angle (PTA) were measured in steps of 10° between 50° of flexion to full extension. Results. The TT–TG was higher in PFP patients compared to volunteers’ from 40° to full extension. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). PFP patients demonstrated statistically significantly greater TT-TG distance increase from 30° to full extension. BSO and PTA were moderately correlated to TT-TG from 20° of flexion to full extension. Conclusion. TT-TG distance is dynamic and increases significantly during extension in patients with PFP and pain free individuals, depending on knee flexion angle. It shows different pattern of dynamics in PFP group. TT-TG distance is associated with patellar instability (BSO and PTA) at low degrees of flexion.
