Help with interpreting MRI Report

[bocc]

Can anyone explain what this means?

1. A small joint effusion is present with mild degenerative change of the medial compartment and Grade II signal of mucinous degeneration in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.

[ozzybug]

Bocc-
Degenerative change in the medial compartment applies to the articular cartilage, also called osteoarthritis in a lot of the information on the web.

Mucinous degeneration of the meniscus partains to cyst like lesions I believe.

Go to any of the search engines and put the phrases in search box and you will find a multitude of information.

Best of luck!
