- Surgery for chondromalacia patella is rarely done. It's only done as a last resort once you've exhausted all the other available options.
The root problem of chondromalacia patella is that there is too much pressure on the cartilage behind the knee cap because the quad muscles are pulling the patella too much.
If surgery cannot relieve this excessive pressure, then is surgery really needed?
In this video, Dr. David shares more details to answer the question, "When is surgery actually needed to help chondromalacia patella?"

Dr David I have gained a lot of insight from your videos thank you. I'm 73 years old had ACL,MCL, and meniscus tear at 24. Suddenly about a two years ago the bothersome pain turned into cripplng pain walking with a cain and lots of pain started doing your glute exercises and knee swings. Than went to physical therapy that helped strengthen the leg muscle but still walking with cain. I had the injections before and they where not working any longer. But I came upon a treatment that incorporated your tail gate swing with ankle weights 2 months later pain greatly reduced and walking without a cain. Also added bike riding every other day
Hey Clock Doc! We're sooo happy to hear that you've been able to stop using a cane and have greatly reduced your pain! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!
Yes, the tail gate swinging can do a lot to help knee pain. It's such an underrated exercise!
Cheers to great knee health!!
This awesome, if possible I think you should reach out and do a collaboration with athleanx to do a rehab and knee strengthening video. 💪🏽
I am in this exact position right now and so frustrated. I was passed around to 3 different PTs at the Ortho rehab place trying to figure out the cause of my chronic knee pain. I've had pain meds, injections, graston, cupping, knee braces- and a year later, still cannot consistently run, and still get the same pain.
I'm with a new PT now (4th one; new facility). They are giving PT 4-6wks before sending me back to the knee Dr for possible surgery.
Your video totally makes sense in root cause- but in the past year of PT they've all focused on not just quad strength, but hamstring, glute and lateral hip strength. And yet no amount of strengthening exercises has helped. I just feel like something is being missed yet noone can figure it out.
I will check out your chondro series and program! Thanks for all your insight and expertise that you share!! You are much appreciated!
I had a similar experience to you and ended up with surgery, a “super easy quick scope”. It was not super easy or quick to recover. I lost even more quad strength and it’s been so hard to recover it (it’s been 4 years). I hope you find what works for you just sharing since I was in the same spot you are right now
How do you find out if you have a muscle imbalance?
My dr.said I have bone on bone and need knee replacement. I do have a lot of pain and sometimes my knee will,give out on me when walking. What do you suggest
