    25. 03/06/2012 25 Examination of Patello-Femoral pain a) No effusion (may have swelling of infra-patellar fat pads - Hoffa's Syndrome) b) Quadriceps (Vastus Medialis) wasting c) Tight hamstrings (discomfort on hyperextension) d) Sunrise view X-Rays may show cartilage degeneration e) Positive Clarke's Test

    26. 03/06/2012 26 Clarke’s Test

    28. 03/06/2012 28 Q Angle

    29. 03/06/2012 29 b) Abnormal patellar anatomy c) Females d) Genu Valgum e) Pronation
