Hoffa's Fat Pad Impingement Syndrome

    Patient : Young female with bilateral occasional knee pain, right > left.



The sagittal PD-FS images show hyperintense signals in the Hoffa's Fat pad superiorly, on the lateral aspect only. The medial fat pad shows normal signal intensity.





On AXIAL PD-FS images these hyperintensities are noted, between the Patellar Tendon (PT) and the Lateral Femoral Condyle (LFC) - consistent with the Patellar Tendon - Lateral Femoral Condyle - Friction Syndrome ( PT-LFC-FS) which is synonymous with Hoffa's Fat Pad Impingement Syndrome.
