A member asked:
What is advanced mucoid degeneration of the acl? does it require surgery? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually...: This diagnosis is usually quoted by a radiologist reading an MRI scan in a degenerative knee. If the knee has arthritis that's significantly advanced, the ACL often looks degenerative. This is not symptomatic and does not require surgical intervention. Indications for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction includes instability and not a radiologist's interpretation of a single change on MRI.
