Talk:Knee cartilage replacement therapy

Rename to cartilage replacement therapy?
A lot of these procedures are not exclusive to the the knee and can be done in other joints, such as hip and ankle (MACI). Will rename unless there are any objections. Sebinsf (talk) 04:57, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Removed new Exercise section - can we do it better?
I removed the following new section
 * Exercise
 * The primary treatment of anterior knee pain or chondromalacia of the patella is a strengthening program of the quadriceps muscle. Strengthening of the quadriceps muscle when done properly often results in approximately 90% cure rate for this condition.   The reason that strengthening of the quadriceps muscle is effective is that it takes the pressure away from the knee cap cartilage and puts it into the muscular tissue.  Also strengthening of the quadriceps muscle assures that the kneecap is tracking properly and distributing the load evenly inside the knee cap-thigh bone joint.

The above was actually a quote lifted from the given reference, so is copy violation. The reference is dubious.

And it is nonsensical physics to say that "strengthening of the quadriceps muscle ... takes the pressure away from the knee cap cartilage and puts it into the muscular tissue". Sorry, wp med needs more accuracy than that.

However, my sports doctor advised me to even up the strength of my quads (my lateral muscles have become shorter than my 'inside' muscles, which lengthened with multi-hour bicycling), saying that the unevenness might cause poor tracking and contribute to the chrondal flap behind my patella.

So if anyone has nice secondary sources...
