What does subchondral edema mean in the knee? could please explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subchondral bone is bone that sits underneath cartilage in a joint, like your knee. Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. You apparently have excess fluid trapped in your knee. Consult with your physician about possible causes and treatments. All the best.
