                                    Brief Answer:
Suggests degenerative changes in the knee.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The MRI scan of the knee suggests degenerative changes in the joint due to wear and tear. These are age related changes that cause a persistent pain in the knee joint specially on movement.
In this problem, the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (kneecap)- on the medial side deteriorates and softens. This condition is common among young, athletic individuals, but may also occur in older adults who have arthritis of the knee.
There is degeneration of meniscus also without any tear.
The main treatment is rest, pain killers, joint lubricant supplements and regular physiotherapy exercises. You can consult your orthopedician and get proper medicines prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
