Chondromalacia patellae (also known as CMP, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome and Runner's Knee)originally meant "soft cartilage under the knee cap," a presumed cause of pain at the front of the knee. It has gradually come to mean pain at the front of the knee from just about any cause. It is therefore no longer a diagnosis (see below).[1][2] Pain at the front of the knee is common in young adults, especially soccer players, Gymnasts, cyclists, rowers, tennis players, ballet dancers, horseback riders, volleyball players, and runners. Snowboarders and skateboarders are especially prone to this injury, particularly those specializing in jumps where the knees are under great stress (skateboarders most commonly receive this injury in their non-dominant foot due to the constant kicking and twisting that is required of it during skateboarding).[3] The condition may result from acute injury to the patella or from chronic friction between the patella and the groove in the femur through which it passes during motion of the knee.[4] When pain at the front of the knee is due to overuse it can be addressed with a basic program consisting of RICE method (an acronym for rest, ice, compression, elevation), anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy.
