QUICK PICK FROM WHAT WE ARE READING: HOFFA’S DISEASE: MRI APPEARANCE
"Hoffa’s disease is an obscure cause of anterior knee pain resulting from impingement and inflammation of the infrapatellar fat pad due to acute or chronic repetitive microtrauma.
While inflammation is prominent during the acute phase of the disease, impingement due to fibrosis and scar tissue of the infrapatellar fat pad plays a major role in the chronic phase.
Fibrous tissue may be transformed into fibrocartilaginous tissue and it may ossify."
