Reply With QuoteI had a similar problem where my patella wasn't tracking right, but I didn't get softening of the bone. I do very limited range hack squats and leg presses. I also do ham curls. It looks stupid only moving a few inches, but my knee has gotten way better, and my legs are still pretty strong and reasonably sized. Also, I found that using aflutop help rebuild the damaged cartilage. If you have chondromalacia, you likely have too many chondroclasts. This condition can improve over time if you cease all activity that aggravates the area. I have osteolysis in my right distal clavicle, which is very similar.

O/t Chondromalacia
I have Chondromalacia on both knee's and the knee cap is tracking outward, and the Doc tells me that there is no more squats and leg presses in my future, I am currently taking a antinflamitory and resting my knees and doing the prescribed excerises, I am totally frustrated and by not being able to do legs, I am 6'6" and 280 and I have lost some leg size since told to stop doing legs and feel like I am walking aroun on chop sticks..lol.. Any body else with this problem and what did you do to compensate..

For my tracking problem, work on the elliptical and removing the activities that caused the problem (playing basketball, running and walking too much) pretty much cured the condition for all I can tell.
The limited range of motion idea is a good one imo.
You pretty much just need to be creating and figure out how you can safely move your knees without causing pain or injury. Then you can train legs again. For now I strongly suggest taking what time you need off and letting it heal up a bit on its own if it will.

Its been a year of healing anti-inflammatories and at home exercises and they are feeling pretty good 80%, but want to try and slowly get back to doing some legs, it really hard to work every other body part and not do legs. Which I loved to do, not like others who dread doing them it was one of my favorites body parts to do....

Hello Big E. Stay away from hack squats, Have you tried partial reps for leg presses. This might work for you

How could they tell it was condromalacia? That is too say, how do they knew if the carligage is softening?
