Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The reports shows the presence of a small loose body which is a fragment of cartilage just above the knee cap. Usually this does not cause any problems with locomotion and not considered a dangerous condition. If you have any restriction of joint movements at the knee joint due to this fragment then it must be confirmed by doing clinical examination.
