What Does The MRI Result Of Bone Indicate?

I had a MRI that showed, among several other things, chondral fissures in medial patellar facet. Also torn meniscus (oblique tear of posterior horn and body-medial), osteophytes and intraocceous ganglia (4-5). Does this indicate that I have sort of worn out this knee joint?

Hi and Welcome to HCM,

Nothing to worry, it is not due to worn out of knee joint. Since osteophytes are seen it is only due to osteoarthritis and meniscal tear. What is your age? Intraocceous ganglia is seen in middle age.

Wish you speedy recovery

Thank you
