During laparoscopy knee surgery doctor 'cleaned up' chondromalacia, what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
chondroplasty: Cleaning up chondromalacia means that the uneven loose cartilage on the surface of the bone was likely shaved or 'cleaned up'...Such as mowing your grass or buzz cutting your hair.
