Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

Chondromalacia patellae (CMP) is referred as anterior knee pain due to physical and biomechanical changes. It manifests as’ softening, swelling, fraying, and erosion of the hyaline cartilage overlying the patella and sclerosis of underlying bone’.
Simplified, it means that the posterior surface of the patella is going though softening and degenerative changes.
CMP is also known as “Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFP)” and “Runner’s Knee”.
