Description. Patellofemoral arthritis occurs when the articular cartilage along the trochlear groove and on the underside of the patella wears down and becomes inflamed. When cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and, when the wear is severe, the underlying bone may become exposed.
Patellofemoral arthritis affects the underside of the patella (kneecap) and the channel-like groove in the femur (thighbone) that the patella rests in. It causes pain in the front of your knee and can make it difficult to kneel, squat, and climb and descend (go down) stairs.

The patellofemoral joint is where the back of your patella (kneecap) and femur (thigh bone) meet at the front of your knee. It's involved in climbing, walking on an incline, and several other knee movements. It's also the joint affected by a common injury called "runner's knee."
Your knee is divided into three major compartments: Medial compartment — the inside part of the knee. Lateral compartment — the outside part of the knee. Patellofemoral compartment — the front of the knee between the patella and femur.
The patellofemoral compartment is the compartment in the front of the knee between the knee cap and thigh bone. The medial compartment is the area on the inside portion of the knee, and the lateral compartment is the area on the outside portion of the knee joint.

The knee joint is a synovial joint that connects three bones; the femur, tibia and patella. It is a complex hinge joint composed of two articulations; the tibiofemoral joint and patellofemoral joint.
Patellofemoral arthritis is where there is degeneration and inflammation of the bone and cartilage at the patella aka kneecap. Kneecap arthritis causes stiffness and pain at the front of the knee and makes activities such as kneeling, climbing stairs, walking on slopes and getting up from sitting difficult and painful.
