A member asked:
Is 6 mm grade ii chondromalacia along mid medial patellar facet synonymous with arthritis? how common and how serious is this? (very athletic female).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Years later it might progress to it, but not now, at this stage. Keep being active as it strengthens the muscles and with time, your symptoms may to some or a great extent decrease. Good luck.
