Article Synopsis
- Patellar chondropathy is common, especially in people under 50, females, athletes, and those who are overweight, with symptoms like pain, limited mobility, and joint instability.
- Traditional treatments like anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy often yield unsatisfactory results for these patients.
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a safe and effective conservative treatment for patellar chondropathy, potentially improving joint function and reducing pain by enhancing the quality of synovial fluid and modulating inflammation.
