Question 1

what is interstitial tearing related to a bicep long head tendon? thanks?

Accepted Answer

Tear: This really means that the tear is in the body of the tendon only - the tendon remains intact otherwise.

Question 2

will i need surgery for an interstitial tear of the distal patellar tendon, measuring 1.4 cm proximal-distal by 0.5 cm medial-lateral? what is recovery like if so?

Accepted Answer

: I don't know about your particular surgical procedure, but it takes a few weeks after patella tendon surgery, in general, to walk normally and 6-12 months to be able to participate in sports.  Your orthopedic surgeon, who knows your status, is best to answer your question.

Question 3

mri says high-grade interstitial tear of the supraspinatus tendon with moderate tendinopathy...what does this mean and is surgery needed? i'm 36yrs fa

Accepted Answer

Probably: I would have to see the images, but it sounds like you have a complete (rather than partial) tear of the rotator cuff, which does usually require surgery, typically in the form of an arthroscopic repair.

Question 4

what is treatment for moderate insertional tendinosis of achillies at calcaneal insertion with interstitial tearing at insertion?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: could be surgery you need to see a foot doctor, or a orthopedic surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment

Question 5

3 mm interstitial tear at mid-point of scapularis, type ii subacromion w/spurring, capsular thickening and edema. should i see an orthopedic doctor?

Accepted Answer

MRI : Wow that MRI must have some great resolution. Just the read does not point toward surgery as your best option. See an orthopedic surgeon. I would treat you with conservative measures before surgery was offered

Question 6

is surgery required or not ? mri diagnosed the below (3 points): 1. interstitial tear in the anterior fibers of anterior cruciate ligament in upper and mid third 2. significant soft tissue swelling around knee joint. 3. mild knee joint effusion?

Accepted Answer

: No absolute indication for surgical repair.

Question 7

m having knee pain .twice got mri done .once the report revealed interstial acl tear and the other time mild synovial effusion .

Accepted Answer

I would treat you --: With pain meds and therapy.
If no relief or improvement over a 10-12 weeks, then you might benefit from an arthroscopic examination, as some meniscal tears (8-10%) and most chondral lesions are not visible on mri's.

Question 8

shoulderpain ~2 yrs. mri-mild tendinosis of supraspinatus tendon, 2 mm interstital tear, mild subacr-subdelt bursitis, trace glenohumoral joint effusion?

Accepted Answer

See details: The MRI of the shoulder is not particularly impressive. As various therapies have not worked, consider seeing an orthopedist who specializes in shoulder issues. There is no way to be more specific with you without having the opportunity to examine the shoulder first hand.

Question 9

what is increased interstitial infiltrates?

Accepted Answer

Chest x-ray: It is a term radiologists use to describe chest x-ray findings. Interstitial infiltrates can be seen in some pneumonias and also in interstitial lung diseases.

Question 10

what are the symptoms of interstitial pneumonitis?

Accepted Answer

Varied symptoms: Symptoms of interstitial pneumonitis can be variable - chronic cough, shortness of breath, reduced exercise capacity. Symptoms depend on the extent & severity of lung involvement, age of patient, associated medical conditions, underlying cause etc. Talk to your doctor/pulmonologist if you have concerns.
