Knee mr found advanced loss of articular cartilage in medial compartment of tibio-femoral and patella-femoral joint. what are my options?

Depends: Medications / injections or surgery. Depends upon how much pain you have and what your response to prior interventions has been. Generally try the easy things first and advance to surgery when nothing else works.
