Excessive lateral pressure syndrome or lateral patellar compression syndrome is the abnormal lateral tilt of the patella without lateral translation 1 and is considered one of the relatively common causes of anterior knee pain. Clinical presentation Patients usually present with insidious onset anterior knee pain aggravated by physical activity. Pathology Excessive lateral pressure syndrome is due to an imbalance between medial and lateral dynamic stabilizers, either secondary to a shortened lateral retinaculum/vastus lateralis (more common) or a lax medial retinaculum/vastus medialis. This results in a lateral tilt of the patella without lateral translation, subluxation or dislocation. In some cases, even medial translation can be present 1. Radiographic features The main feature is abnormal patellar tilt without lateral translation/subluxation 1. Patellar tilt can be assessed with the patellofemoral angle 1. Joint effusions are uncommon 5. Treatment and prognosis Long-term excessive lateral pressure syndrome can result in chondropathy and patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Surgical treatments include arthroscopic lateral retinacular release 4, 5.
