Chondromalacia patellae is sometimes used synonymously with patellofemoral pain syndrome. [4] However, there is general consensus that patellofemoral pain syndrome applies only to individuals without cartilage damage. [4] [5] This condition is also known as Chondrosis.
[5] [6] [14] The historic quantified definition of grades I, II, and III represented 0–5 mm, 5–10 mm, and >10 mm of medial compartment gapping, respectively. [15] LaPrade et al. reported, however, that a simulated grade III sMCL injury showed only 3.2 mm of increased medial compartment gapping compared to the intact state. [15]

The most common location of plica tissue is along the medial (inside) side of the knee. The plica can tether the patella to the femur, be located between the femur and patella, or be located along the femoral condyle. If the plica tethers the patella to the femoral condyle, the symptoms may cause it to be mistaken for chondromalacia.
The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the lower ...
In this six-part series, we'll demonstrate quick exercises for different areas of your body every week to help you stay limber.
These are the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments, the patellofemoral compartment and the superior tibiofibular joint. The components of each of these compartments can experience repetitive strain, injury or disease.
Other conditions that can appear similar include infrapatellar bursitis, chondromalacia patella and patellofemoral syndrome. [1] [2] Treatment often involves resting the knee and physical therapy. [2] Evidence for treatments, including rest, however is poor. [4] [5] Recovery can take months and persist over years.
