Chondroangiopathy is a medical condition that affects the blood vessels in the cartilage, leading to poor blood supply and subsequent damage to the cartilage. This condition primarily affects the articular cartilage, which is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of the bones in the joints. Without adequate blood supply, the cartilage begins to degenerate, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
The most common symptom of chondroangiopathy is joint pain, which may be sharp, dull, or stabbing. The pain is often worsen with movement and may be felt in the knees, hips, or ankles. Other symptoms include joint stiffness, swelling, and a grinding sensation in the joint. In severe cases, the cartilage may wear away completely, leading to joint deformity and arthritis.

Risk factors for the condition include age, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Trauma to the joint, such as a fracture or dislocation, can also damage the blood vessels in the cartilage and lead to chondroangiopathy.
Diagnosis of chondroangiopathy typically involves a physical examination, X
