What does patellofemoral mean?

What is patellofemoral and lateral compartment degeneration?
Degeneration means age-related arthritis. In this case, it's found in the knee joint.
What does tibio-femoral and patellofemoral joint spaces are preserved mean?
If a joint space is preserved, it means the space is normal and not showing signs of arthritis. In your case, the joint spaces in the knee were found to be normal.
What joint is found in the knee?
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
Is the patellofemoral joint a gliding joint?
Patello-femoral joint is saddle joint. disreguard my correction i misread the question, I thought he said femoral-tibial joint my apologies....
What is lateral patellofemoral joint chondral loss?
Overuse, injury or other factors may lead to a condition known as chondromalacia patella, a general term indicating damage to the cartilage under your kneecap. A more accurate term for chondromalacia patella is patellofemoral pain syndrome.
What implications does q angle have for patellofemoral problems?

What is the knee joint?
The knee joint consists of the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint. It is a combination of hinge and gliding joints, respectively. It is also in a class called freely movable joints, which are also called synovial, or diarthrotic joints.
What are two different joints found in the knee including the bone marking and movements produced by these movements?
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
What is Osteophytic ridging in lateral and patellofemoral compartments?
Osteophytes are your body's reaction to stress in a joint, and are typically found in age-related arthritis. In your case, these are found in the knee joint where the kneecap meets the thighbone.
There are advanced degenerative changes at the patellofemoral joint with narrowing of the joint space and marginal osteophyte formation?
That sounds like the cartilage in the joint of the knee has worn to a point where the bones have touched forming more bone in an attempt to repair the damage This leads, pain, stiffness and continued damage to the joint.
