Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You have developed degenerative changes in the left knee joint. This is seen as calcification of lateral ligament and reduced joint space. The changes are mild and you may get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking medications. The accessory bones in popliteal fossa are small round extra bones formed in some people and have no serious clinical problems attached to it. The reduced joint space needs to be reviewed after few years. If pain in severe then a MRI knee is advised, this will tell any cartilage, ligamental, meniscal or capsule degenerations.
