Chondromalacia, often referred to as runner’s knee, is a condition characterized by the softening or degeneration of the cartilage on the underside of the patella (kneecap). This condition can lead to pain and discomfort, particularly during activities that involve bending the knee, such as running or climbing stairs.

For Chondromalacia, commonly used products for treatment include knee braces designed to provide support and alleviate strain on the affected cartilage. Additionally, orthopedic insoles or shoe inserts may be utilized to promote proper knee alignment and reduce impact during weight-bearing activities, contributing to the management of Chondromalacia symptoms.
