In the course of a review of the literature the definition, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disease entities chondropathy and patellar chondromalacia are compared. Without exception, the descriptions found are inconsistent and inaccurate. A new classification--chondromalacia, patellar and peripatellar syndrome--is proposed. Possible causes of these diseases in the subchrondral vascular system are mentioned explicitly ("patellar migraine", "patellar claudication").
在文献综述过程中，对疾病实体软骨病和髌骨软骨软化症的定义、病因、诊断及治疗进行了比较。毫无例外，所发现的描述既不一致也不准确。提出了一种新的分类——髌骨和髌周软骨软化症综合征。明确提到了软骨下血管系统中这些疾病的可能病因（“髌骨偏头痛”“髌骨跛行”）。
