The British Patellofemoral Society

The British Patellofemoral Society (BPFS) is an organisation of healthcare professionals working together towards providing better care and information for patients with patellofemoral joint conditions.

Patients can use this website to find out further information about patellofemoral conditions and treatments as well as searching for specialist surgeons in their region.

Healthcare professionals with an interest in patellofemoral conditions can access the latest research and techniques and we would encourage your membership in the society.

There are resources available for download for patients and professional healthcare workers. If you have any further questions, please get in touch here.

About the society

The British Patellofemoral Society strives to improve care for patients with patellofemoral conditions. We aim to define and promote best practice in the management of patellofemoral joint conditions.

The Society will endeavour to carry out original research and analyse any available existing publications to establish the current best practice for conditions affecting the patellofemoral joint. We mainly focus on three conditions; patellofemoral pain, patella instability and arthritis.

The British Patellofemoral Society was formed in 2016 and welcomes all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with patellofemoral conditions, including physiotherapists, surgeons and radiologists.
