Chondromalacia of the patella occurs in adolescents and young adults. This condition is more common in females. It can be related to the abnormal position of the knee.
Chondromalacia patella is abnormal softening of the cartilage of the under the kneecap (patella). Chondromalacia patella is the most common cause of chronic knee pain. Chondromalacia patella results from degeneration of cartilage due to poor alignment of the kneecap as it slides over the lower end of the thigh bone (femur). This process is, therefore, sometimes referred to as patellofemoral syndrome.
Selective strengthening of the inner portion of the quadriceps muscle will help normalize the tracking of the patella.
If patient's symptoms do not improve with conservative therapy, arthroscopy of the knee may be performed to look for possible lesions, and treatment.
