Knee pain can be disabling, and if you have been in a Tennessee car accident, Tennessee motorcycle accident or injured on the job in Tennessee you may assume that some sort of surgery is going to be necessary to get things back to normal.

Among our Tennessee knee injury clients we have found that sometimes surgery can make a huge difference, but not always. Pain at the front of the knee may be caused by a softening of your knee cartilage, a condition called “chondromalacia” If your diagnosis is chondromalacia will surgery be the answer? Maybe not.

Recent research has shown that knee surgery for chondromalacia has limited effectiveness and shouldn’t be attempted unless the patient has 6 months of physical therapy without improvement.
