Often called "runner's knee", chondromalacia patella is a common condition causing pain in the kneecap. The patella is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage, which normally glides across the knee when the joint is bent.
The patella is found in a groove n the femur called the trochlea. Damage to the articular cartilage in this area is known as, PF Chondrosis. PF Chondrosis can occur due to trauma such as a direct impact to the front of the knee or overuse.
