Hello and welcome to HCM,
Knee joint shows presence of circular cartilage.
These cartilage act as shock absorbers and increase the depth of socket wherein the femoral heads fits.
Injury or trauma to the knee joints can cause tear in the meniscal cartilages.
The MRI report of the knee joint is showing presence of degeneration of the posterior horn of one of the menisci.
Degeneration can be age related, injury or trauma.
However, there is no evidence of tear.
You need to consult your orthopedician for further management.
Thanks and take care
