Hi -
Is there any information about using ozone to treat chondromalasia in
the knee of a 24 year old male (my son). He has been suffering from
it for a couple of years, has had arthroscopic sugery (unsuccessful)
and was at one time a very active soccer player. Any guidance would
be appreciated.

Dear June,
Chondromalasia is a degnerative condition of the knee, sometimes
called arthritis of the knee, although cartilage is often involved.
It is mainly due to overuse, and is therefore seen in athletes most
frequently.
If you were to bag the knee and apply ozone treatments daily, it would
undoubtedly improve the condition. Whether it can completely resolve
it is unknown, but it certainly will reduce the pain.
Best of health!
