What Does Stable Degenerative Intraosseous And Subchondral Cyst On The Hand Indicate?

What does it mean when a report on my right hand states that there is stable degenerative intraosseous and subchondral cyst involving the distal aspect of the middle phalanx third finger measuring 0.4cm. There is a 4 mm of ulnar negative variance. No Chondrocalcinosis.
