Chondromalacia patella surgery is mainly to restore the function of the knee joint and slow down the development of osteoarthritis of the patellofemoral joint, but it is difficult to restore to completely normal anatomical shape and has a certain risk of recurrence.
Chondromalacia patella is caused by trauma, excessive exercise, excessive obesity and other factors, causing degeneration of the cartilaginous surface of the patella, with symptoms such as anterior knee pain and knee joint weakness.
Surgical treatment of chondromalacia patella is mainly to remove the cartilage erosion foci, increase the stability of patellar condyle sliding, and restore the normal function of the knee joint, however, even after surgical treatment, the destruction of articular cartilage has already occurred, and it is difficult to restore to the pre-injury state, and there is a certain risk of recurrence.
When symptoms such as knee pain and weakness occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, and post-operative precautions need to be taken from a professional doctor’s consultation.
