I'm not clear if the: Problem is w the back side of your kneecap, or w the femur or tibia. But yes, it is likely that a problem w any of these can be helped. Please see an orthopedic surgeon to help identify the specific problem & explore what treatment(s) could be the most helpful. Take care.

Total knee: Some knee cap arthritis can be treated with medications and exercise. When those things fail, consideration of resurfacing or a total knee is appropriate.
