| Gruppo/Braccio di partecipanti | Intervento/Trattamento |
|---|---|
Comparatore placeboControl Group: Saline Injection If you are randomized to the control group, you will receive a saline injection to the hoffa's fat pad at your visit. Saline injections are safe for the intended use of being a placebo injection. After your injection, you will be required to continue with physical therapy. You will be sent patient reported outcomes including quality of life, pain interference, symptoms and function, and level of activity at 4 weeks and 8 weeks following your injection. | Saline Injection (Octreotide LAR Placebo) If you are randomized to the control group, you will receive a saline injection to the hoffa's fat pad at your visit. Saline injections are safe for the intended use of being a placebo injection. After your injection, you will be required to continue with physical therapy. You will be sent patient reported outcomes including quality of life, pain interference, symptoms and function, and level of activity at 4 weeks and 8 weeks following your injection. |
Comparatore attivoIntervention Group: Corticosteroid Injection If you are randomized to the intervention group, you will receive an ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection to the hoffa's fat pad at your visit. Ultrasound guided corticosteroids injections are a common and approved procedure for this condition done at Boston Children's Hospital in the sports medicine clinic. You will be sent patient reported outcomes including quality of life, pain interference, symptoms and function, and level of activity at 4 weeks and 8 weeks following your injection. | Methylprednisolone Acetate and Lidocaine If you are randomized to the intervention group, you will receive an ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection to the hoffa's fat pad at your visit. Ultrasound guided corticosteroids injections are a common and approved procedure for this condition done at Boston Children's Hospital in the sports medicine clinic. You will be sent patient reported outcomes including quality of life, pain interference, symptoms and function, and level of activity at 4 weeks and 8 weeks following your injection. |
| Misure di esito | Descrizione della misura | Arco temporale |
|---|---|---|
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC Score) | The IKDC is a patient-reported outcome measure on a 0-100 scale assessing knee function, symptoms, and sports activities, with higher scores indicating better function. | From enrollment to 8 weeks after enrollment |
| Misure di esito | Descrizione della misura | Arco temporale |
|---|---|---|
Peds Quality of Life Score (Peds-QL) | The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is a brief measure of health-related quality of life in children and young people. Scoring involves transforming a 0-4 Likert scale (0=never, 4=almost always) into a 0-100 scale by reverse scoring and linear transformation, where higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life (HRQL). | From enrollment to 8 weeks after enrollment |
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Short Form (PISF) | The PISF is designed to measure the extent to which pain interferes with a person's: Work or household chores, Social activities, Enjoyment of life, and Physical activities. Each question has five response options ranging in value from one to five. To find the total raw score for a short form with all questions answered, sum the values of the response to each question. | From enrollment to 8 weeks after enrollment |
Level of Activity per week | Patients will report hours of activity per week during the study | From enrollment to 8 weeks after enrollment |
Self-report pain flare post injection | Patients will self-report any pain flares that occur 4 weeks after receiving the injection | 4 weeks post injection |
• Clinical diagnosis of HFPI (defined as pain to palpation over the medial or lateral aspect of the infrapatellar fat pad, and/or positive hoffa test which is performed by exerting direct pressure over the infrapatellar fat pad as the knee is passively moved from flexion to extension; pain is positive hoffa test)
Age 12-18 years Patients who identify as female
- Organized sports participation is defined as any adult-led game or sport in which three or more people play and/or practice together regularly in a league or association or an adult-led individual athletic activity. Non-organized sport is excluded such as free play.

- Radiographic evidence of bony abnormalities other than lateral patellar tilt, patella alta/baja, trochlear dysplasia
- MR positive for internal knee joint derangement, synovitis/inflammatory changes/effusion, OCD
