A member asked:
What is a chondroplasty of the sub patella mean? does plica ever regenerate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plica not often, sub: patellar arthroplasty is an arthroscopic shaving of the under (sub) side of the patella, trying to make it smooth. If the cause of chondromalacia is due to mal-alignment , this needs to be addressed to stop progression of the problem
