I need some help understanding what the Radiologist Report is saying?
I finally had full x rays and MRI Friday.
The x ray report was done by the time the MRI was done.
Here was the findings. Knee. There is moderate narrowing of the patellofemoral joint compartment, particularly at its lateral aspect. There is mild narrowing of the medial compartment. There is modest spurring of the patella, distal femur and proximal tibia. No acute fracture, dislocation, bone or joint lesion is seen.
Impression. Mild to moderate osteoarthhritic changes, most prominently involving the patellofemoral compartment.
Hip. Findings: There is very minimal narrowing of the hip joint space, with slight spurring of the acetabular margins. There is also minimal spurring of the greater trochanter. Calcifications in the right pelvic soft tissues are presumed phleboliths.
Impression. Mild osteoarthritic changes of the hip with no acute findings.
I don't understand this. In November 5 months ago nothing was found. Can you develop OA in 5 months?
Can someone help?
