A member asked:
Mri said an peripheral extrusion of the medial menicus , grade 2 chondramalacia full thickness cartilage loss of medial femora condyle is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wear and tear...: Full thickness cartilage loss means that the underlying bone is exposed. This occurs with progressive wear and tear and is ultimately treated with knee replacement when symptoms are severe enough. Chondromalacia is the same thing but the term is usually applied to the cartilage on the back of the kneecap. Grade 2 reflects some damage - the worst is grade 4. Time to stop impact activities!
