Mt doctor is on vacation for two weeks . My MRIS was just done . These are the findings :
In the medial compartment, thre are minimal internal degenerative cahnges of the poterior horn of the medial meniscus without evidence of tear.
In the lateral compartment , the meniscus apprears intact
In the patellofermoral cpmartment thesere is a small region of localized fraying and thinning of the centeral patellar cartilage centered lateral to midline. There is no subcortial edema. Th femoral cartilage apprears intact. The medial and lateral pattellar retinacula apprear intact.
The extensor mechanism apprears normal. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and lateral collateral ligament appear intact. There is mild soft tissue edema adjacent to the medial collateral ligament with no intrinsic signal alterations are seen to involve is ligament. Normal apprearance to the iliotibal band. There is a small joint effussion. No loose bodies are seen. There is a popliteal fluid collection situated medial to the medial head gastrocnemius muscle. This measures up to 3.8 cm in vertical diameter. The greatest axial diameter is 2.4 x .08 cm. There is subcortical cyst formation encompassing a diameter of up to 7mm within the central proximal tibia between the medial and lateral intercondylar eminences. No areas of osseous edema.
Impression Minimal internal degenerative changes of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus without tear
2. Focal chondromalacia of the center patellar cartiledge
3. Mild soft tissue edema adjacent to the medial collateral ligament which may indicate a grade 1 sprain
4. Small joint effussion
5. Popliteal cyst
6. Small subcortial cyst within the central tibia
Not only does ny knee hurt still after several weeks of rest from activites , but walking for any length f time causes the upper thigh to ache as well. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated in assisting what all this means until I can see my ortho in September! Thank you!
