There can be many causes of knee pain. Anterior knee pain or patella-femoral pain is pain that is felt under the knee cap (patella) at the front of the knee. The patella, or kneecap, can be a source of knee pain when it fails to function properly.

Alignment or overuse problems of the patella can lead to wear and tear of the cartilage behind the patella. Patella-femoral pain syndrome (anterior knee pain) is a common knee problem that affects the patella and the groove that the patella slides in over the femur (thigh bone). The kneecap together with the lower end of the femur is considered to be the patella-femoral joint.
