I have been diagnosed with chondrocalcinosis of the knee. A search of the literature seems to yield only one study which offered some hope of improvement of the condition. A study using a pulsed ultrasound showed some improvement in the condition after 6 weeks and a more definite improvement resulting in a marked decrease in calcium crystal deposits after 6 months. Does anyone have any experience using this treatment modality, or any other treatment that you might have found successful?
