A member asked:
I had an mri and got the results back but im confused by them. what does this mean? 1. suspect a minor chronic tear along the inner radial or free margin of the medial meniscus. 2. possibility of subtle chondromalacic changes of the lateral patella

MRI: You have a tear in your medial meniscus . The cartilage in you inner par t of your knee. Chondromalasia is a "rouoghening" of the underside of the patella.
