Brief Answer:
Needs cartilage implantation surgery OATS
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for the query
Deciding to your MRI report, you have a defect in the inner aspect of the femur or thigh bone at the knee joint. Also there is a cartilage surface damage to the patella or knee cap.
The bone contusion is in the femur bone.
I would suggest you consult your Sports Medicine Specialist regarding possible evaluation of the knee joint with an arthroscope with cartilage implantation procedure like OATS (Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System) . This is a very effective procedure to fill up defects in the cartilage.
Avoid knee flexion and squatting. Perform physiotherapy to strengthen Quadriceps muscle.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
