What is Chondromalacia patellae?
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.
Could you please tell me non surgical solutions in any stream of medicine for chondromalacia patellae?
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.
