A member asked:
What does chondrocalcinosis mean? where are the medial collateral ligament fibers in the knee? what does it mean there is an abnormal focal region acl
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read below: Chondrocalcinosis is abnormal deposits of calcium typically at the meniscus. The medial collateral ligaments (mcl) fibers are on the inside part of the knee. An abnormal focal region of the acl means that the acl has degenerated a bit. This can happen with age (unfortunately) or it can happen after an injury.
