Adolescent anterior knee pain has traditionally been described as running a benign and self-limiting course. Studies more recently have questioned this supposition. This study aimed to assess how many patients who had undergone patellofemoral arthroplasty for isolated patellofemoral arthritis had previously suffered from adolescent anterior knee pain, knee instability and trauma. This group was then compared to a control group of medial unicompartmental arthroplasty patients. Both groups were surveyed by postal questionnaire, with a >75% response rate from each group. 22% of the patellofemoral arthroplasty group described adolescent or early adulthood anterior knee pain as compared to 6% in the medial unicompartmental arthroplasty group (p
