Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Chondromalacia patellae (CMP) is referred as anterior knee pain due to physical and biomechanical changes[1]. It manifests as’ softening, swelling, fraying, and erosion of the hyaline cartilage overlying the patella and sclerosis of underlying bone[2]’.
Simplified, it means that the posterior surface of the patella is going though softening and degenerative changes[3].
CMP is also known as “Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFP)”[1][4] and “Runner’s Knee”.[5]
