Challenging tradition in the treatment of patellofemoral disorders.

Disorders of the patellofemoral joint remain one of the most common and challenging pathologies encountered by the orthopaedic and sports medicine clinician. In this special issue of the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, many traditional treatment approaches for patellofemoral dysfunction have been challenged, and innovative rationalized treatments are presented. The primary goal of this special issue is to improve clinical efficacy by emphasizing an accurate decision-making process before the initiation of any form of treatment for patellofemoral disorders.
