X-ray and mri show significant hole in back of kneecap. wasn't there 5 months ago during meniscus repair surgery. any thoughts?

Compare photos: U may have had some 'early' chondromalacia( wear) of your patella 6 months ago and it has progressed or you have had a more significant injury . Make sure your ors has checked your patellofemoral mechanics and tracking. Most ors have photos of your previous"scope" that can be compared to your (upcoming presumably) scope where the lesion can be assessed for progression. Best of luck!
