title: [Personal experiences in the conservative therapy of patellar chondropathy].
abstract: 150 knees were re-examined and rated with a modified Bentley-score to estimate the results of the conservative treatment of chondromalacia patellae. 25 several methods in 74 various combinations were used in the treatment. Only injections of Arteparon, short waves and iontophoresis with histamine were applied as single treatment in some knees. None of these methods, applied as single or in combination with other ones, gave results, which were statistically significant better than those of the other ones. In the conservative treatment of chondromalacia patellae the polypragmasy should be stopped and arthro-muscular rehabilitation should be regarded as the principle task.
