Chondromalacia patellae (softening and deterioration of kneecap cartilage)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you often feel pain when walking down stairs or hills, cartilage disease (chondropathy) on the rear of the kneecap (patella) may be the reason. In advanced stages of the illness, even normal use is associated with pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chondromalacia patellae: Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in successfully treating cartilage damage in the knee is figuring out the cause. Malpositioning<\/a> is a common cause of rapid cartilage damage. Insoles, physical therapy, repositioning surgery, etc. can effectively eliminate the causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, therapy can address the knee joint<\/a> directly. However, this usually first requires an arthroscopic examination of the cartilage.<\/p>\n\n\n
