Jan 19, 2024 · The infrapatellar fat pad, also known as Hoffa fat pad, is the largest of the anterior knee fat pads. It is located immediately posterior to the patellar tendon and is traversed during knee arthroscopy.
Increased T2 signal within Hoffa's fat pad located between the proximal patellar tendon and lateral femoral condyle consistent with patellar tendon lateral femoral condyle friction syndrome also known as Hoffa fat pad impingement syndrome.
May 26, 2024 · In infrapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome (Hoffa disease) the cause is usually due to single or repetitive traumatic episodes; the inflamed fat pad then becomes hypertrophied with a predisposition to impingement between the tibia and femur, and thus to further injury (a vicious circle).
Mar 21, 2016 · • Hoffa’s fat pad (HFP) is richly innervated and, therefore, a source of anterior knee pain. • HFP disorders are related to traumas, involvement from adjacent disorders and masses. • Patients with abnormalities of the HFP on MRI are often but not always symptomatic.
May 1, 1997 · The infrapatellar fat pad of Hoffa is an intracapsular structure that is routinely visualized on magnetic resonance images of the knee. Because disease in this region is not uncommon, it is important to be familiar with the various pathologic entities that may occur here.
Because superolateral Hoffa's fat pad edema is a frequent finding in patellar maltracking or impingement disorders, our study was designed to systematically evaluate its correlation with various anatomic parameters of trochlear morphology and patellar alignment.
Hoffa's disease (Fig.3 and 4) Is a syndrome of infrapatellar fat pad impingement. Sometimes after an acute impact or repetitive traumas, the fat pad can become impinged (pinched) between the distal thigh bone, femoral condyle, and the patella.
Mar 1, 2016 · Hoffa's fat pad, also known as the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP), which are terms that will be used synonymously in this review article, is an intracapsular extra-synovial structure in the anterior knee joint.
May 26, 2024 · Patellar tendon-lateral femoral condyle friction syndrome, also known as Hoffa fat pad impingement syndrome, is a common cause of anterior knee pain in active individuals.
Jun 19, 2004 · The infrapatellar fat pad of Hoffa is commonly injured but rarely discussed in the radiological literature. Abnormalities within it most commonly are the consequences of trauma and degeneration, but inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the synovium can be confined to the fat pad.
