Chondromalacia has been used improperly to describe the syndrome of patellofemoral pain. Articular cartilage degeneration is just one of the many possible causes of patellofemoral pain. Chondromalacia actually means "soft cartilage" and is a pathologic description of changes seen on articular cartilage. Many authors have developed classification (source Google Search)
It all depends on age. I have had Chondromalacia patallae for about 3 years now and have had serious problems with it. I have spoken to my surgeon many times about it and he still believes that i am young enough that i will grow out of it. It is most likely Condromalacia and not arthritis if you have been diagnosed, and if it does not go away then you should ask your doctor, as some people never grow out of chondromalacia. If it is bad enough then there is the surgery option, however doctors advise against it.

Chondromalacia is abnormal softening of cartilage of the joints. Bicompartmental means relating to two compartments and is normally used referring to something in both the inside and the outside of the knee (the medial and lateral compartments). So I would assume that bicompartmental chondromalacia is abnormal softening of the cartilage of both the inside and outside of the knee. Hope this has helped.

Prolotherapy for chondromalacia involves intra-articular (inside) injections as well as injections on the outside of the knee, stimulating the growth of many musculoskeletal structures around the patella. It is for this reason the knee gets stronger and the pain of chondromalacia is relieved. Hope this helps.
