Not to intrude on Mark's knee problems, my right knee that's had chondromalacia since '78 (post cartilage repair, pre-arthroscopy days) is having intense pain. I will ask the orthopedic specialist tomorrow about this as I've read (many years ago), that shaving the cartilage underneath the kneecap doesn't help chondromalacia so well. But that was then..

Good luck Mark. Yeah, a lateral stabilization device like those who've had ACL repair might be helpful when you engage in more intense activities - maybe.

Best, ans
