A member asked:
I have chondromalacia grade 3 with some pain, snaps and noises. i'm only 26. i'm taking injections (3). what's next treatment for this severity?

Chondromalacia : Sometimes we graft chondral defects, such as in cases where they are painful. Realignment osteotomies, in combination with a cartilage resurfacing may also be necessary. I would highly recommend a visit to an orthopedic surgeon who performs cartilage restoration to provide you with an opinion as to your options.
