Is it possible to gave patellofemoral for life? i've been in physio about 3yrs and still have it. should i get better after my growth plates close?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be surgical. : After failing pt for a long time like you have, i would probably ask about an mri. Sometimes patellofemoral syndrome may be due to cartilage defects under the patella called chondromalacia. That may be a surgical problem.
