Patellofemoral Syndrome.

I was redirected to Chondrolomacia patellae from Patellofemoral Syndrome.

All the information I have suggests that Chondromalacia patellae is an older term for PFS that is now no longer in common medical use because it creates confusion between Chondromalacia and Patello femoral syndrome. The two are quite distinct conditions, although untreated PFS does sometimes lead to Chondromalacia. By itself PFS does not necessarily involve deterioration of the inner surface of the patella whereas chondromalacia does (with the classic "crab meat sign" showing up on x-rays).

I hate to suggest it here, but a quick google search for diagnostics on either condition will highlight the differences.

I hate patellofemoral syndrome...boo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.55.114 (talk) 04:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
