Chondromalacia patellae (CP) is a syndrome that causes pain/discomfort at the front of the knee. It is associated with irritation or wear on the underside of the kneecap, or patella. In a normal knee, the articular cartilage is smooth and elastic and glides smoothly over the surface of the thighbone, or femur, when the knee is bent. Erosion of the cartilage roughens the surface and prevents this smooth action.
Chondromalacia patella that occurs in adolescents and young adults is thought to be related to overuse, trauma, and/or abnormal forces on the knee. It is more common in females. Many affected adolescents have a mildly abnormal alignment of the kneecap. An average of two out of 10,000 people develop this condition, many of them runners or other athletes.
Chondromalacia patella may also reflect arthritis of the kneecap, which is usually seen in older individuals.
People who have previously had a dislocation, a fracture, or other trauma to the kneecap may be more likely to get chondromalacia.
Chondromalacia patellae is the result of the normal aging process, overuse, injury, or uneven pressures exerted on the knee joint. In teens, chondromalacia patellae may be caused by uneven growth or uneven strength in the thigh muscles. Growth spurts, common in teens, may result in a mildly abnormal alignment of the patella, which increases the angle formed by the thigh and the patellar tendon (Q-angle). This condition adds to the damage. Symptoms include pain, normally around the kneecap, and a grinding sensation felt when extending the leg. The pain may radiate to the back of the knee, or it may be intermittent and brought on by squatting, kneeling, going up or down stairs, especially down, or by repeated bending of the joint.
