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

re the shaving
ans,
I had that done back in the late '80s as well re right knee tho w/i last 5 years saw the OSS re knee pain and was told they don't do that anymore. It probably depends. If surgeon is already in there and working on something maybe it's done still but probably if one goes to the doctor, has an xray and this is found the treatment would be much more conservative now without the arthroscopic treatment and maybe just the injections... I know I have chrondromalacia in both knees now for at least 20 years and have done nothing about because it's only symptomatic for awhile and then passes so I just wait it out for now. Lateral movement in right knee is tricky. It's not a stable knee so doesn't tolerate it well.
