A member asked:

What does oedema of medial meniscus and slight signal increase in the posterior aspect of medial meniscus in a mri report mean?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Translation: Oedema= swelling due to fluid retention; signal increase= denser tissue; How these apply to the patient is best discussed with those who know why the study was done & have the physical exam data

Degenerative changes: the description is of mild degeneration, age related, with lower chance of trauma. Of course, this must be correlated with the patients history
