What is chondromalacia patella?
Chondromalacia Patella, also known as “runner’s knee,” is a condition where the cartilage on the underside of the patella (kneecap) deteriorates and softens. This leads to pain and inflammation in the knee, particularly during activities that put pressure on the knee joint.
Treatment for Chondromalacia Patella
Anatomy of the Knee
The knee joint is one of the most complex joints in the body, consisting of:
Bones: The femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap).
Cartilage: Smooth tissue that covers the ends of bones, reducing friction and absorbing shock.
Ligaments: Strong bands of tissue that connect bones and stabilize the knee.
Tendons: Connect muscles to bones, enabling movement.
Synovial Fluid: Lubricates the joint to minimize wear and tear.
Causes of Chondromalacia Patella
Overuse: Repetitive stress from activities like running, jumping, or cycling can wear down the cartilage.
Malalignment: Poor alignment of the kneecap due to congenital factors or muscle imbalances.
Injury: Direct trauma to the knee or previous injuries can damage the cartilage.
Muscle Weakness: Weak thigh muscles can lead to improper tracking of the patella.
Symptoms of Chondromalacia Patella
Knee Pain: Aching pain in the front of the knee, especially when bending the knee.
Swelling: Mild swelling around the kneecap.
Grinding Sensation: A grinding or crunching feeling when moving the knee.
Stiffness: Difficulty in fully extending or flexing the knee.
Prevention of Chondromalacia Patella
Exercise and Strengthening
Quadriceps Strengthening: Exercises like squats and leg presses to build strong thigh muscles.
Hip Strengthening: Exercises like clamshells and leg lifts to stabilize the pelvis and reduce knee strain.
Core Stability: Strengthening the core muscles to improve overall posture and alignment.
Proper Technique
Proper Footwear: Wear shoes with adequate support and cushioning to reduce knee stress.
Correct Exercise Form: Ensure proper form during physical activities to prevent extreme pressure on the knees.
Weight Management
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce the load on the knee joints and prevent cartilage deterioration.
Regular Stretching
Incorporate regular stretching routines to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle imbalances.

FAQs - Chondromalacia Patella
People who are at risk for developing chondromalacia patella include:
- Those who are overweight
- People who have had an injury, fracture, or dislocation related to the kneecap
- Runners, soccer players, bicyclists, and other people who exercise often
- Teenagers and healthy young adults, more often females
Chondromalacia patella often occurs when the undersurface of the kneecap comes in contact with the thigh bone causing swelling and pain. Abnormal knee cap positioning, tightness or weakness of the muscles associated with the knee, too much activity involving the knee, and flat feet may increase the likelihood of chondromalacia patella.
Dull, aching pain that is felt:
- Below the kneecap
- On the sides of the kneecap
A feeling of grinding when the knee is flexed may occur. This can happen:
- Doing knee bends
- Going down stairs
- Running down hill
- Standing up after sitting for awhile
- Blood tests and/or a standard knee X-ray – This may help to rule out some types of arthritis or inflammation.
- MRI scan- A tests that shows details of the knee joint and can reveal many cases of chondromalacia patella.
- Placing of an ice or cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times daily, for several days. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack with a towel.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief. Topical pain medication— These include creams or patches that are applied to the skin to help with soft tissue pain.
- Prescription pain relievers.
- Changing the way you exercise
- Doing exercises to both stretch and strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles
- Losing weight (if you need to)
- Using special shoe inserts and support devices
- Taping to realign the kneecap
- Wearing the right kind of sport or running shoes
