Patellofemoral joint consists of patella (kneecap) and femoral condyle. Normal patellofemoral joint is normal, and the stress on the joint surface of each part is relatively uniform. The occurrence of chondromalacia patellae is caused by the disorder of biomechanical relationship of patellofemoral joint. The patella is tilted or subluxated to the outside, so that the facial cartilage inside the patella hits the trochlea of the lateral femoral condyle, resulting in excessive wear of cartilage in the lateral articular space, loss of chondrocytes, hyperosteogeny and narrowing of the articular space.

Generally speaking, as long as patella softening's degree is not serious, there is no need for surgery. For mild patella softening, conservative treatment can be considered. Plasters can be used for treatment, such as Yujitang Patella Shungu Anyu Plaster, which is a better therapeutic plaster and can effectively cure patella softening's symptoms, and it is the most impressive choice at present. However, patients should pay attention not to use large doses of anti-inflammatory drugs during the treatment, so as to avoid side effects, and the treatment effect is counterproductive.

Do not run or massage yourself. Otherwise, improper massage will easily cause more harm and aggravate the condition.

2. Pay attention to the posture and intensity of exercise in daily life, and pay attention to sports protection, such as wearing sports protective gear to prevent accidental injuries during exercise.

3. In our daily life, we should foresee the possibility of any accident and make full use of the tools around us to help reduce the risk of accidents leading to patella softening.

4. Don't be too anxious when getting on or off the bus or going upstairs and downstairs. You can use handrails to help stabilize your body and then walk. People with professional habits should change their working posture and have a rest every once in a while.

5, to maintain a good rest, never do strenuous exercise again, so as not to aggravate.
