Question 1

please translate-severe tendopathy high grade partial thickness tearing from critical zone to insertion site. nodular synovitis adhesive capsulitis?

Accepted Answer

Rotator cuff tear: You basically have a tear of your rotator cuff.  You will have to sit down and discuss surgical verses no surgical options with an orthopedic surgeon.

Question 2

high grade partial thickness bursal surface tear distal junction supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons?

Accepted Answer

Rotator cuff tear: That is just a fancy way to say you have torn your rotator cuff.  The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that allow you to move your arm away from your body.  The good thing about your cases is a partial tear can heal, where in a complete tear the ends pull apart and the tear can not heal.  Thank you for the question.

Question 3

do i need surgery for fluid in the subcromial/subdeltoid bursa and a high grade partial thickness articulare sided tear supraspinatus tendon?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Full thickness tears of the rotator cuff will often retract and not heal; so if someone is young and reasonably active surgery usually optimizes outcome.  Partial tears can heal at times without surgery.  A high grade partial tear is very close to a complete tear; you would certainly want to be followed closely by an orthopedic surgeon to discuss your progress.

Question 4

mri results partial thickness tearing mcl grade 2 sprain.
partial tearing of medial retinaculum & patellofemoral ligament along posterior aspect of ligaments. moderate to high grade partial thickness cartilage loss lateral trochlear facet. surgery ?

Accepted Answer

Specialist: I'm unsure if you're a candidate for surgery as your tears are all incomplete. However in view of multiple internal knee pathologies I recommend consulting an orthopedic surgeon with special interest in complicated knee problems. You may have to seek one at an orthopedic department of surgery at a university hospital.

Question 5

l shoulder mri-high grade partial thickness cartilage loss throughout the glenohumeral  joint w/subchondral cystic change in the glenoid and associated labral degeneration and tearing. not sure what this means can someone explain? thanks?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: All imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the findings you described are consistent with osteoarthritis.    Wish you good health!

Question 6

small meniscal root tear, high grade chondral fissuring partial thickness on the medial femoral condyle, grade 4 chondromalacia patella is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Try conservative rx: Seems like most of the damage is under the patella. If you have locking you might need arthroscopy, I would first try terminal extension excercises training the quads without putting much pressure on the patella. In addition research has shown that Asperin could help the surface cartilage heal. In addition, MSM (Puritan Pride) could be helpful as a nutraceutical supplement.

Question 7

what does high grade partial undersurface supraspinatus tear mean?

Accepted Answer

Near complete tear: The rotator cuff of your shoulder is composed of 4 muscle and the supraspinatus is the on sitting on top--see pic.  High grade partial tear means it is dangerously close to a complete tear. In this case, it means only the top portion/layer of this muscle is still attached; thus caution or else a complete tear can occur. Consult doc and physical therapist for care. Good luck.

Question 8

does a high grade partial tear of the medial retinaculum require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: An isolated medial retinacular tear of the knee does necessarily require surgery/ thorough evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon will determine your specific needs, however.

Question 9

whats a high grade partial tear of patella tendon?

Accepted Answer

Be seen: The patellar tendon connects the knee cap to the tibia.  Without your patella tendon, you can not straighten your knee and it would be difficult to walk.  A partial tear means it is not completely torn, but a high grade means it is pretty close to a complete tear.  It is probably going to need to be fixed or you may have a poor outcome.  Thank you.

Question 10

high grade partial tear ucl  and common flexor tendon what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Thumb or Elbow?: The ulnar collateral ligament (ucl)  is a primary stabilizer to one of your thumb joints. It provides stability to the thumb when you pinch something between your thumb and index finger.  It is injured when the thumb is bent backwards and outwards. It is unlikely that you injured the actual flexor tendon to the thumb but rather the insertion of some thumb muscles that attach near the ucl.
