Hello, greetings from Kolkata.
Lateral patellar tilt is generally caused by tight lateral tissues or weak medial tissues of knee or bony abnormalities of knee. It can be managed by physiotherapy and exercises targeted at the disease. However, chondromalacia has probably happened due to lateral patellar compression syndrome.
This is also curable in early stage by medicines and exercises. But in late stages may need surgical intervention.
Next Steps
can start physiotherapy targeted to the VMO and medial hamstrings.
Health Tips
Send MRI and xray films for futher information.
