What is a chondral flap in knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cartilage pealing up: Chondral means cartilage. Flap means a piece of cartilage surface has torn and is pealing up like a flap. This can cause clicking or pain or swelling. This is treated with an arthroscopy trimming the flap if it is symptomatic.
