Brief Summary

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common cause of knee pain in adults younger than 60 years. . In this study, we aimed to evaluate the medial and lateral cartilage thickness the medial and lateral retinaculum thickness and the medial and lateral patellofemoral distance using ultrasonography and to compare with healthy controls. We also aimed to investigate the relationship between the measurements obtained in the PFPS group and pain intensity, functional scoring, and quality of life.
