A member asked:
What does hetergenity signal of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus attachment root mean? what does the patella apex body mean? please help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely meniscal tear: the imaging suggests that you have problems with the cartilage in your knee. If your clinical symptoms, e.g. knee pain, clicking with walking, are persistent, then these results indicate significant cartilage problems in your knee; You need an orthopedic consult to assess the need for surgery.
