Joint hypermobility in patients with chondromalacia patellae.
The relationship between joint mobility and chondromalacia patellae was reported in a prospective study. A total of 115 patients with chondromalacia patellae were compared with 110 healthy individuals without chondromalacia patellae, matched for age and sex, who served as a control group. The degree of joint mobility was scored on a scale of 0-9. The number of individuals with hypermobile joint...
متن کاملFurther Studies on the Etiology of Chondromalacia Patellae.
Chondromalacia of the patellae has been described as “ a degenerative process of the articular cartilage of the patella of traumatic origin, characterised by fibrillation. fissuring and erosion “ (Smillie 1962). Budinger (1906) is credited with the first description of this lesion. De Palma, in 1954, typified the current widespread opinion of the etiology of this condition: “ It is generally co...
متن کاملPatello-femoral joint mechanics and pathology. 2. Chondromalacia patellae.
Two distinct lesions affect the articular cartilage of the patella. Surface degeneration occurs particularly on the odd facet; it is age dependent, often present in youth and it becomes more frequent with increasing age. It probably does not occasion patello-femoral pain in youth, but may predispose to degenerative arthritis in that joint in later years and is regarded as a consequence of habit...
متن کاملEffect of aspirin treatment on chondromalacia patellae.
Twenty-nine patients (21 females and 8 males) with chondromalacia patellae diagnosed by arthroscopy were randomly allocated to receive aspirin or placebo for 3 months. Clinical and arthroscopic examination after 3 months showed no significant change in symptoms, signs, or macroscopic appearances in either group. Surgical treatment was performed in 14 patients for deteriorating symptoms.
متن کاملArthroscopy in the diagnosis of chondromalacia patellae.
Chondromalacia patellae is difficult to diagnosis clinically with accuracy. In order to clarify the relevant symptoms and signs, 78 patients presenting with a clinical diagnosis of chondromalacia were examined by arthroscopy. In 49% of the knees no abnormalities were found. Presenting symptoms were similar in the normal and abnormal groups. Physical signs were more helpful in diagnosis and it i...
