Question 1

Accepted Answer

Degeneration: Myxoid means that their is a swelling and disorganization of the fibers of the ligament. Often times this adjective has no significance to the ultimate treatment plan.

Question 2

posterior horn medial meniscus with myxoid degeneration, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Meniscal Degeneratio: It sounds like you are describing an MRI finding on a radiologist report.  It means,  that on imaging, the substance of the meniscus in the inside (medial) and posterior (back) part of your knee is starting to degrade. This is a normal occurrence starting in your twenties.  In the absence of a tear, this finding should be asymptomatic and should not require surgery

Question 3

mri showing myxoid degeneration due to buckling of pcl. acl alignment and continuity is maintained.

Accepted Answer

Which ligament?: The information presented here is incomplete. However, myxoid degeneration is usually not a cause of symptoms/disability. Unless the ACL or PCL is lax (loose), then degeneration of these ligaments is rarely a problem. Also, the menisci (ring-shaped cartilage) can also show myxoid degeneration on an MRI.

Question 4

my mri report of left knee shows grade 2 myxoid degeneration with modrate effusion and som injury to acl. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Possible ACL injury.: The grade 2 signal within the meniscus, generally indicates wear on the meniscus, but no outright tear. The ACL finding depends on whether or not you've had an injury to your knee. Reports can be misleading, so the actual images of the MRI need to be reviewed by an orthopedic knee surgeon.

Question 5

what does intrameniscal degeneration mean?

Accepted Answer

Osteoarthritis : The meniscus is a cushion inside the joint.  What you are describing is wear in this "cushion."  it is most common in osteoarthritis but can also be present in other forms of arthritis.   This is usually an MRI description of the problem.
