Abstract
-
Lateral fat pad impingement syndrome is rare disease characterized by anterior knee pain, painful click and palpable cord-like thickening at the lateral side of patellar tendon. We report a case of lateral fat pad impingement syndrome on walking, which developed in a 22-year-old female and was treated successfully with arthroscopic resection of enlarged fat pad.
