Grade 4 chondromalacia patella

2024-01-17 09:46:06
Can grade 4 chondromalacia patella be treated without surgery (arthroscopic surgery)? The pain comes on and off. Are there any injections, or exercise that one can take instead of going for surgery? Also, does this always indicate knee replacement in the later stage, i.e., 20 30 years later?
