A member asked:
I have grade 2 chondromalacia patella and grade 3 of the trochlear groove, confirmed via arthroscopy. does this qualify me for knee replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Surgical replacement of the knee is the last resort. Regular exercise to decrease and maintain weight and to improve joint strength : swimming, water aerobics/ walking; bike riding. Use water weights for weight training and muscle building. Talk with your Orthopedic doctor about injections
