A member asked:
On mri is "high grade chondral defect overlying the central mfc which measures 6mm" bad? also "absence of ph of mm suggest chronic partial tearing"
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This means you have a small defect in your knee cartilage and perhaps some 'wear and tear' on oyur meniscus. Whether anything needs to be done about this depends on your symptoms. If you are having severe knee pain, these things might be contributuing and could therefore be addressed. Follow up with Dr who ordered the MRI to discuss the way forward.
