Chondromalacia Patella CMP results from damage to the cartilage which covers the back of the patella or kneecap. This smooth hard cartilage is known as hyaline cartilage or articular cartilage and its purpose is to allow smooth movement of the patella over the femur or thigh bone in the knee. The cause can be either acute from a sudden impact or from a long standing overuse injury.

Chondromalacia patellae Chondromalacia patellae (also known as CMP) is inflammation of the underside of the patella and softening of the cartilage. Chondromalacia patellae is a term sometimes treated synonymously with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Summit Medical Group Web Site A subluxing patella (kneecap) is a temporary, partial dislocation of the. kneecap from its normal position in the groove in the end of the thigh. bone (femur). This groove is located between two bumps at the end of the. thigh bone called the femoral condyles.

Surgical Options for Patella Dislocations Dislocation of the patella occurs when the kneecap is pulled out of the groove on the end of the thigh bone. The kneecap is always pulled to the outside of the groove. Once a patella dislocation occurs, it is much more likely to occur again in the future.

Knee Injury Patellofemoral syndrome occurs when the underside of the patella becomes inflamed if irritation develops as it rides its path with each flexion and extension of the knee, and it does not track smoothly. This inflammation can cause localized pain, especially with walking down stairs and with running.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease What is the cause of Osgood-Schlatter Disease? Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a condition resulting from traction of the patellar tendon (tendon that attaches the knee cap to the shin bone) upon one of the tibias (shin bone) minor growth plates located beneath the knee cap. Growth plates are cartilaginous, and therefore, more subject to irritation than that of bone.

- It is caused by irritation on the undersurface of the patella and leads to the loss of cartilage lining the bone of the joint (AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 2001, first quarter, pages 3-4).

- Chondromalacia patella is caused by an abnormal breakdown of the cartilage that lines the underside of the kneecap. The kneecap bone is known as the patella and therefore the name chondromalacacia. Chondro means cartilage and malacia means softening. In this condition the cartilage under the knee fissures and basically breaks down. It leads to a grinding sensation and pain in your knee. It may also be known as runner’s knee.

- Chondromalacia patella is abnormal softening of the cartilage of the underside the kneecap (patella). It is a cause of pain in the front of the knee (anterior knee pain). Chondromalacia patella is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain. Chondromalacia patella results from degeneration of cartilage due to poor alignment of the kneecap (patella) as it slides over the lower end of the thighbone (femur). This process is sometimes referred to as patellofemoral syndrome.

- [edit on Wikidata] Patellar dislocation is an injury of the knee, typically caused by a direct blow or a sudden twist of the leg. It occurs when the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position in the patellofemoral groove, and generally causes intense pain with swelling of the knee.

Palpebral fissure It can be reduced (short) in horizontal size by fetal alcohol syndrome and in Williams syndrome. The chromosomal conditions trisomy 9 and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) can cause the palpebral fissures to be upslanted, while Marfan syndrome can cause a downslant. The fissure may be increased in vertical height in Graves' disease, which is manifested as Dalrymple's sign.

Chondromalacia Patella Chondromalacia patella (CMP) involves damage to the articular cartilage which is the smooth hard cartilage under the kneecap. Symptoms are similar to that of patellofemoral pain syndrome with pain and swelling at the front of the knee especially over and around the kneecap or patella. It is often worse when walking downstairs or after sitting for long periods, known as movie-goers knee or theater knee.

Chondromalacia Chondromalacia, also known as “runner’s knee,” is a condition where the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (kneecap) deteriorates and softens.our kneecap normally resides over the joint of your knee. When you bend your knee, the movement causes the backside of your kneecap to glide over the bones of the knee, specifically the femur or thigh bone. Tendons and ligaments attach your kneecap to your shinbone and your thigh muscle to the kneecap.

This smooth hard cartilage is known as hyaline cartilage or articular cartilage and its purpose is to allow smooth movement of the patella over the femur or thigh bone in the knee.n a healthy knee the movement of the Patella across the knee is a smooth gliding movement. In individuals with CMP, the kneecap rubs against the part of the joint behind it, resulting in inflammation, degeneration and pain. This can be for a number of reasons, but is usually due to the position of the patella itself.

Test Bank Of Essentials of Anatomy And Physiology 7th Edition by Martini Bartholomew The tendon of the thigh muscle normally slides in a groove on the upper leg bone (femur; femoral groove) as the knee joint moves. When a patellar dislocation (luxation) occurs, the patella typically shifts toward the outside (lateral) aspect of the knee joint, leaving the femoral groove.

Patella Alta Your kneecap, or patella, is a small bone that is triangular in shape and is embedded within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris, which is the large muscle of the front of your thigh. The patella is very important for the stability of your knee joint. Symptoms. When you have patella alta it usually results in pain in the front section of your knee. Other symptoms it might cause can include: It can also cause additional problems like traumatic failure of a supporting ligament or patellar dislocation, which is an injury of your knee and your kneecap slips out of place.

- This causes the ligament to inflame and cause discomfort and pain while kneeling. This may also cause burning pain in the knees. Chondromalacia of the Patella. Pain between the patella and the femur is called chondromalacia of patella. Older people can get this pain due to old age and even younger ones can develop this pain. Arthritis can also be the cause of kneecap pain in older people.

- Osgood-Schlatter Disease (Knee Pain). Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common cause of knee pain in growing adolescents. It is an inflammation of the area just below the knee where the tendon from the kneecap (patellar tendon) attaches to the shinbone (tibia). Osgood-Schlatter disease most often occurs during growth spurts, when bones, muscles, tendons, and other structures are changing rapidly.

- What is Patellofemoral Syndrome? Patellofemoral syndrome (PFS) is a term commonly used to describe a condition where the patella ‘tracks’ or glides improperly between the femoral condyles. This improper tracking causes pain in the anterior knee and may lead to degenerative changes or dislocation of the knee cap.

The tongue: A window to other organs Intraoral findings: A chief complaint is that of malodor and discoloration associated with deep fissuring of the tongue due to the bacteria and food particles that become embedded in the grooves and cracks. The trapped particles may lead to inflammation and often cause discomfort/burning in the patient.
