MRI knee impression

Feature suggestive of mild to moderate tibo-femoral osteoarthritis with effusios •Medial meniscus anterior, posterior horns and adjacent body show intra-substance signal of grade III
with its extrusion
Grade II signal seen anterior, posterior horns of lateral meniscus Chondromalacia patella grade 1
Advice: Follow up
Investigations have their limitations. Solitary pathological/Radiological and other investigations never confirm the final diagnosis. They only help in diagnosing the disease in correlation to clinical symptoms and other related tests. Ple interpret accordingly.
What does this means? Thank you!

It means that the knee joint is undergoing changes as per the age.. The protective cartilage in your knee is worn out..Also the shock absorbing structure in your knee i.e. the meniscus is torn as well as its poping out of its natural place..
