Introduction
Patellofemoral pain is a common presenting condition in clinical practice. However, there are a number of other conditions that can masquerade as patellofemoral pain. These conditions vary between the adolescent and adult populations. Because there can be a cross-over in symptoms, we need to look outside the box and consider exactly what could be causing a patient's pain. There are often clues in the patient's history which provide vital information for the differential diagnosis. This course will help you to rule out sinister or red flag conditions and confidently diagnose the cause of a patient's knee pain.
