[QUOTE="FasterNU, post: 136098, member: 23608"] Chondromalacia patellae and patellofemoral syndrome are not one and the same! Chondromalacia patellae is a specific pathological entity in which there is a softening or fibrillation(fraying) of the patellar cartilage. Most people with patellofemoral syndrome do not actually have Chondromalacia!! Also, a patient with genu valgum is knock kneed, and genu varum is bow legged...I believe Nephron has it backwards. It is my understanding that chondromalacia most often occurs due to chronic overuse and is likely exascerbated by poor mechanics, but in my recollection, is just as frequently associated with a direct blow to the knee. The treatment usually entails low impact excercises that focus on strengthening the inner part of the quadriceps(vastus medialis), without injuring joints. Main thing is to prevent excess tension on the articular surface of the patella. [/QUOTE]
