INFRAPATELLAR FAT PAD SYNDROME | HOFFA'S FAT PAD The infrapatellar fat pad or hoffa's fat pad is a fat pad inferior to the patella. Due to it's highly vascularized nature it's susceptible to create nociception in anterior knee pain. In this video we'll explain what it is, discuss the pathophysiology behind it was well as clinical presentation and treatment options! | Physiotutors

HOFFA'S TEST FOR INFRAPATELLAR FAT PAD SYNDROME The infrapatellar fat pad is an intracapsular and extrasynovial adipose tissue occupying the anterior knee joint from the inferior pole of the patella to the proximal tibia. As it is highly vascularized and innervated, impingement of the infrapatellar fat pad is a potential source of nociception causing anterior knee pain that is often overlooked. In this video (click below) we will show you how to perform the Hoffa Test in order to help diagnose t
