Familial chondromalacia patellae is an extremely rare, inherited patellar dysostosis disorder characterized by chondromalacia of the patella associated with patellar pain and dislocation (distal displacement) upon knee extension. Male-to-male transmission is reported. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1963.
