Chondromalacia patellae is most often found in young women where the knee caps (patellae) develop a condition that softens the cartilage. The added description of severe diffuse thinning indicates that it has progressed to a larger degree. A person with this condition may experience significant pain when walking, or doing other activities like sports.
