A member asked:
Mri results medial meniscus is extruded and markedly attenuated in appearance in towards the posterior root.explain?could this cause pressure in knee
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This means: possible internal derangement of the knee due to abnormal (???torn") cartilage! This could cause knee pressure by causing an effusion (fluid) to accumulate inside the knee! Hope these answers are helpful! Dr Z
