Supero-lateral Hoffa's fat pad edema: associazione con malallineamento o conflitto femoro-rotuleo.
2012
OBIETTIVO. Il nostro studio è stato disegnato per valutare sistematicamente la correlazione dell'edema della porzione supero-laterale del corpo adiposo di Hoffa con diversi parametri anatomici della morfologia trocleare e dell'allineamento della rotula. MATERIALI E METODI. Abbiamo riesaminato in maniera retrospettiva 50 esami RM di ginocchio di 47 pazienti, eseguiti nel periodo gennaio 2011-marzo 2011 per la presenza di edema nella porzione supero-laterale del cuscinetto adiposo di Hoffa e di anomalie anatomiche associate dell'articolazione femoro-rotulea. RISULTATI. Dei 50 esami, 25 (50%) hanno mostrato edema della porzione supero-laterale del corpo adiposo di Hoffa, e differenze statistic…
A rare case of Enchondromatosis of the knees and hands with involvement of Hoffa's fat pad and peri-articular soft-tissues
2013
We report a case of a 56-year old man with chronic pain in both knees for several years. This patient had already undergone surgery on his left knee in 2002 after an x-ray showed multiple lytic and well margined lesions in the distal femur and proximal tibia with ground-glass matrix, involving Hoffa's fat pad and the patellar ligament. Histology was consistent with an enchondroma. The most recent MRI examination showed enchondromatosis involving both knees with bilateral extension into Hoffa's fat pad and the patellar ligament. Subsequently, we performed an additional radiographic examination of the hands and feet, as well as an MRI of both hands to identify other possible enchondromas in t…

Hoffa’s fat pad thickness: a measurement method with sagittal MRI sequences
2021
Abstract Background Hoffa’s fat pad is a structure located within the fibrous joint capsule of the knee joint, but outside the synovial cavity. It plays an important biomechanical and metabolic role in knee joint, reducing the impact of forces generated by loading and producing cytokines. Changes in its size can induce modifications in the knee homeostasis. However, a great variability exists regarding its measurements. This work aims to evaluate the reliability of a measurement method of Hoffa’s fat pad dimensions through MRI. Methods 3T sagittal IW 2D TSE fat-suppressed MRI sequences, taken from the OAI (Osteoarthritis initiative) database, of 191 male and female patients, aged between 40…
