Abstract


This article brings additional insight to the origin of the so-called patellofemoral crepitus sound observed in a slow-moving knee joint. It has been suggested that this sound is a variant of the so-called stick-slip mechanism known to tribology in different contexts. We provide a deeper analysis of the phenomenon with comparison of measured data and a simplified model. The influence of different parameters like the sliding velocity is discussed. It is shown that the crepitus sound indeed disappears with age and a clinical importance of this find is considered.
