Runner's Knee Treatment in Dallas
Chondromalacia patellae, also known as “runner’s knee,” is a physical condition common among young adults but is also found in older adults who have knee arthritis. Runner’s knee is essentially where the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella, or kneecap, deteriorates and softens.
In Dallas and Frisco, our best orthopedic surgeons in Dallas of SPORT Orthopedics + Physical Therapy see hundreds of patients with Chondromalacia patellae or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome each year. Treatments for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, or Runner’s Knee, is typically treated with physical therapy but may require surgery, in certain cases. Many times the procedure can be done using knee arthroscopy, a minimally invasive approach that involves inserting tools and a tiny camera through a small incision, which enables our surgeons to repair the injury.
