A condition called patellofemoral (PF) chondrosis describes cartilage loss on the surface of the kneecap. 2 Another term for the condition is chondromalacia, and its severity is graded on a scale from one to four.
Chondromalacia patella (knee pain) is the softening and breakdown of the tissue (cartilage) on the underside of the kneecap (patella). Pain results when the knee and the thigh bone (femur) rub together. Dull, aching pain and/or a feeling of grinding when the knee is flexed may occur.
Tricompartmental osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that affects your knee. In osteoarthritis, or OA, the smooth, slippery cartilage that covers the ends of your bones and helps them glide over each other slowly wears away. This allows bones to rub together at the joint.
