My MRI report says chondral defect and probable chondral flap of the weight bearing surface of the medial femoral condyle, along with Chondromalacia patella (Runners Knee)
I can deal with the runners knee no problem. That is a mechanical issue I can fix with strengthening muscle groups and working on my flexibility.
I am worried about the potential effect of removing that chondral defect (flap).
Anyone have a happy ending story to share to ease my mind or am I SOL and need to think about not running long anymore.
Thanks,
Dave
