Abstract:
An arthroscopic procedure of excision of damaged cartilage and drilling the subchondral bone plate for treatment of chondromalacia patellae is described. Satisfactory results and absence of major complications are reported in a preliminary, short-term series of 24 cases of symptomatic posttraumatic chondromalacia patellae, with a mean follow up of 12 months.
