The prognosis
Since the pain behind the kneecap is caused by various factors, it is not possible to formulate a general prognosis. Frequently, the pain can be reduced or completely eliminated by physiotherapeutic treatment, in which the muscles are strengthened to relieve the knee. Even a short break from training is often sufficient to give the knee time to regenerate. If the cartilage is damaged, a knee joint endoscopy (arthroscopy) can usually be used to repair the damage and thus also the pain.
