No discrete osteochondral lesion detected although there is motion artifact. Consider follow-up MR with sedation if symptoms persist or are discordant. What does this mean

Hello,
The report is indicative of post inflammatory status in the ligaments following the previous tear through injury or else.
However, a clinical co-relation with the symptoms and signs is always mandatory to proceed further before making any of the comments.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
