What Does The Following MRI Report Incident?
Hi doctor, I have chondromalacia patella in left knee for 9 months. I have done MRI 6 months ago and it was diagnosed I /II grade chondromalacia. I have done excercises under physiotherapist along with medicines but things didn t improve much. I am feeling severe grinding sound and pain during steping ladder. Can arthroscopy solve the problem ?and is it long lasting? I have changed the Orthopedic now. He said chondromalacia heals itself sometimes with proper quadriceps excercises. Please suggest me that should I wait or go for orthoscopy?

Hello,
In most of the cases, it will improve with conservative management. If symptoms persist you can go for arthroscopic correction.
