Is there a good treatment for chondromalacia patella?

**Methods are surgical and non-surgical**.

In daily life, we should pay more attention to taking care of patients, such as avoiding mountaineering, carrying weights upstairs, and avoiding sudden changes in the intensity of exercise when exercising, which can reduce the incidence of this disease to a certain extent.

It is best to consult a professional doctor.

The ** of patellomalacia is:1Weight reduction and knee exercises, 2

Knee Function Exercise, 3Physiotherapy: hot compresses, baking electricity, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and other physiotherapy methods can reduce the symptoms of patients, 4. Oral nutritional cartilage drugs:

Drugs such as glucosamine, 5Arthroscopic joint debridement: For patients who do not respond well, arthroscopic joint debridement may be considered to relieve the patient's symptoms.

Glucosamine sulfate capsules, aminochondroitin sulfate, aminometacin enteric-coated tablets, and Henggu bone wound healing agent can be taken orally. These drugs can control the development of the disease, can increase local blood vascularization, promote cartilage repair, and reduce clinical symptoms. Platelet-rich plasma can be injected locally to speed up cartilage damage repair.

When severe patellar osteomalacia causes osteoarthritis, surgery is required depending on the situation**. If necessary, the patella should be removed to prevent further osteoarthritis.

Generally speaking, due to individual differences, there is no most effective way for **patellar osteomalacia, and patients can be improved by general**, drugs**, surgery**, etc., the specific analysis is as follows:

1.General**: Patellar chondromalacia is a damage to the cartilage of the patellar articular articular caused by a variety of factors, and patients usually experience symptoms such as pain and friction.

Patients can usually reduce the amount of exercise, avoid frequent squatting, flexion and extension, etc., which can reduce local wear and tear, which is conducive to relieving discomfort.

2.Drugs**: Patients can use drugs under the guidance of doctors**, commonly used drugs are glucosamine sulfate capsules, glucosamine hydrochloride capsules, aspirin tablets, etc., these drugs can play a role in nourishing patellar articular cartilage, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and so on.

3.Surgery**: Surgery** is mainly suitable for third-degree and fourth-degree severe patellar articular cartilage injury, and the doctor will form a layer of connective tissue on the surface of the cartilage through cartilage grafting, microfracture surgery, etc., so as to replace the cartilage to play a role.

The knee joint is composed of the patella, femur and tibial plateau, and the patella and femoral condyle form the patellofemoral joint. If the patellofemoral rule is unbalanced, the patellar cartilage surface will be rubbed for a long time, causing degeneration of the patellar cartilage and producing symptoms of patellar tenderness, which is called patellar malacia. In the early stage**, the external terpene patella is Shungu Anyu - paste, it is recommended to maintain a good rest and reduce the activities of excessive flexion of the knee joint, such as going up and down stairs, climbing and other sports.

Wearing knee braces to protect joints can be used orally to nurture articular cartilage, such as glucosamine sulfate**. In the later stage, the patellar trajectory changes and the patellar cartilage damage is relatively large, so it is necessary to go to the joint surgery department of the hospital for patellar trajectory reconstruction surgery.

Manifestations of chondromia patella.

1. Mild. Mild pain in the joints, intermittent. Morning stiffness or a period of inactivity may cause temporary stiffness, but the pain is relieved by activity, usually when walking up and down stairs or sitting for long periods of time.

2. Moderate. The joint pain is obvious, reverse, and tolerable. Morning stiffness, relieved after activity, but the pain and movement restriction are aggravated by excessive activity, which can be relieved after rest, and some may also have joint swelling, decreased walking ability, bone friction sounds, and joint rattling during activity.

3. Severe. The pain is severe, persistent, unbearable, awakening at night, the joints are clearly swollen, deformity, stiffness is not relieved, activity is significantly limited, the ability to walk is reduced, and there is a sound of bone rubbing.

There are **non-surgical** and surgical** for patellar omalacia. Non-surgical** is mainly for patients with mild symptoms. In such cases, avoid running activities, especially running and climbing stairs, as well as squatting and cycling activities, as well as warm compresses to the knee area, and use cartilage nutrition drugs to relieve symptoms.

If necessary, joint puncture may be performed and nutrient lubrication can be injected. Then there is the surgery**, which is mainly for patients with more severe symptoms, which seriously affects the movement of the knee joint. This condition can be done with minimally invasive knee arthroscopy, which cuts the patellar cartilage and shapes the patellar cartilage.

The following measures are usually taken: 1. Glucosamine hydrochloride capsules can be taken orally to effectively inhibit cartilage degeneration, which can avoid further aggravation of patellar malacia. 2. Be sure to keep warm and not get cold.

Because blood circulation slows down after a cold, inflammation accumulates, which can lead to worsening of patella. 3. It is necessary to reduce the flexion and extension activities of the knee joint, such as climbing, climbing stairs, cycling, etc., which is easy to cause greater patellofemoral friction and aggravate the condition. 4. Plasters that can be applied externally to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, relax tendons and channels, such as dog skin ointment and blood circulation ointment to increase local blood circulation, promote inflammatory metabolism, increase arterial blood supply, and help reduce patellar malacia.

In addition, warm water packs can be applied to increase blood circulation and promote recovery.
