hi
sorry for the delay in replying.
the joint spae reduction might be due to osteoarthritis.i hope 45 degree angles xray on the right angled knee is taken to rule out pfj disorder.
if pfj compression test is positive then articular cartilage destruction should be considered.how.s the patellar tracking? quadriceps isometrics at multiple angles?
