Background: Anterior
knee pain is one of the most common complaints of patients in orthopedic
clinics. The first step in the treatment of this problem is conservative
treatment which includes administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, exercise
and changes in life style. Many patients respond well to these measures in
about six months, but a small number of patients may not respond to the conservative
treatment therefore, surgical procedures such as Maquet osteotomy or lateral
retinacular release may be needed in these cases. The aim of this study was to
determine the efficacy of intraosseous drilling and decompression of patella in
the treatment of chronic anterior knee pain.Methods : This study was performed as a case series on ten patients with
chronic anterior knee pain attending the Orthopedic Clinic of Imam Khomeini
Hospital, in Tehran, Iran in 2009-2010. Eight of the patients were male and the rest were female. The
patients met the inclusion criteria and were followed up for at least 12 months after the surgery. Results : The mean age of the patients was 27.8±4.66 yr and their mean BMI was 22.5±1.71 kg/m2. The mean pain severity before the interventions
was 8.2±0.78 based on VAS but it decreased to 2.5±1.26 post-surgically. An average
reduction of 5.7 scores were noticed in pain severity depicting a significant
reduction of pain (P<0.0001).Conclusion: It may be concluded
that intraosseous drilling and decompression of patella is a safe and effective
method in the treatment of chronic anterior knee pain not responding to
conservative treatment. |
