Reports Show Signal Changes In Subarticular Bone Marrow, Oedema, Intraosseous Ganglion. What Is The Meaning?
Hi, may I answer your health query? Please type your query here...There is a 1.4cm area of abnormal ill-defined high T2/STIR signal changes in the subarticular bone marrow of the anterior lateral tibial plateau consistent with bone marrow oedema/bruising. There is a 0.8cm more well-defined high T2 signal area subjacent to the tibial spine suggestive of a small intra-osseous ganglion.
No evidence of significant joint effusion.
There is a small 2mm high signal area in the free edge of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus suggestive of an undisplaced radial tear. The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus is ill-defined suggestive of chronic injury. An undisplaced radial tear of the free edge of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus is also noted.
The anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate ligaments appear intact.
The medial and lateral collateral ligament fibers appear intact.
The axial images show normal position of the patella in the trochlear groove.
The quadriceps and patella tendons are intact.
There is narrowing of the articular cartilage overlying the weight-bearing surface of the lateral femoral condyle with mild marginal osteophytes consistent with early degenerative changes.

Hi:
it would be helpful if you give more details about your symptoms, the duration and any recent injury.
from the scan it seems you have wear and tear in the joint, but can not tell how bad it is, those finding should give you reasonable discomfort on walking.
However the bone ganglion usually benign cystic lesion. but I will recommend review by orthopaedic doctor for better assessment
