A member asked:

I had a left knee mri and this is what it showed can you explain what this means: the capsular margin of the body remnant has slightly extruded latera?

Capsule: The capsule is strong conncective tissue that keeps the synovium in place. So if the capsular margin has extruded laterally the would mean it is pushing out. I would assume you had a knee strain.
