Load-deformation characteristics of cadaver patellae: Relationship to intraosseous pressure

Load-deformation of cadaver patellae results in deformation and an increase in intraosseous pressure. These findings may help explain previous studies of patellofemoral pain where elevated patellar intraosseous pressures have been found in vivo.
