A member asked:
I had knee surgery and had a mri and was told no arthritis after surgery i had an mri and it showed degeneration how an that be? please explain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I would go more on what was seen on the cartilage surface at the time of arthroscopy than based on an mri. Mri interpretations are just that...Interpretations. The radiologist may have commented on "degenerative changes" within your meniscus or cartilage thinning "chondromalacia".
