The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), also known as Hoffa's fat pad, is an intracapsular,
extrasynovial structure that fills the anterior knee compartment, and is richly vascularized …

The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) of Hoffa's fat pad is the main adipose structure within the knee
joint. It is located between the joint capsule and the synovial membrane, which lines its …

Background The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) is the largest adipose deposit in the knee;
however, its contributions to the homeostasis of this organ remain undefined. To determine …

Background: The successful isolation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs)
from the arthroscopically harvested infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) would provide orthopaedic …

Background aims Stem cell therapies are being evaluated as promising alternatives for
cartilage regeneration. We investigated whether stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) from …

We report the case of five patients referred to our department with Hoffa's disease: three
patients were at the initial stage of the disease and the two others had reached the chronic …

The knee demonstrates unique anatomy with regard to the capsular-synovial relationship
and in particular contains several interposed fat pads. The 3 intracapsular fat pads are …

Fat is not just used by the body as bulk tissue. In addition to its role in storing energy and
regulating hormone action, fat is used in some parts of the body for its mechanical …

The infrapatellar (Hoffa's) fatpad is an important structure within the knee, whose function
and role are both poorly understood. This review explores the anatomy, neural innervation …

Objective To describe cross-sectional associations between mass effect or signal intensity
alteration of the suprapatellar fat pad (SPFP) with knee symptoms and structure in older …
