Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that these MRI findings are related to chronic degeneration of the knee cartilage, caused by repeated trauma. Being a cheerleader has imposed her to repeated trauma to her knees, leading to these changes. What are her actual symptoms?

I would recommend taking ibuprofen and have some rest for a couple of weeks. If the pain persists, you should consult with an orthopedist and discuss the possibility of arthroscopy for the treatment of the disorders. This is not open surgery, but endoscopic mini-invasive surgery.

Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
