Suggest treatment for chondromalacia patellae
Patient: HI, I am Durga Prakash. I am suffering from chondromalacia patella, The patella is dislocated & is located upward & laterally outward,The tibia torsion is also high, I am presently doing some exercises as prescribed by Orhopaedician for the past 3 months. Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The damage caused by chondromalacia can often heal. Conservative treatment is usually recommended first since rest and physical therapy may eliminate the symptoms. The goal of treatment is to reduce the pressure on your kneecap and joint. Resting, stabilizing, and icing the joint may be the first line of treatment. If conservative treatment for several months fails, surgery may be recommended.Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
