Knee MRI
I was wondering if I could an opinion on a recent MRI I had done after I twisted my knee. The following was straight from the MRI report:
FINDINGS: MRI of the knee was performed without intravenous contrast using standard axial, sagittal and coronal sequences.
There is a moderate to severe bone contusion involving the lateral plateau. There is some suggestion of cortical discontinuty, particularly laterl at the tibial plateau, raising the possibility of a nondisplaced tibial plateau fracture. The lateral meniscus is intact. There is a focal high signal involving the free edge of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus, which could represent a tiny radial tear. The remainder of the medial meniscus is intact. The lateral and medial collateral ligaments are intact. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are well visualized and intact. Extensor mechanism is intact. The articular surfaces are intact. A small suprapatellar knee joint effusion is present. The soft tissues are otherwise unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate to severe contusion, lateral tibial plateau. The possibility of a nondisplaced tibial plateau fracture is raised.
2. Possible tiny radial tear, medial meniscus.
3. Small suprapatellar knee effusion.
I trust the opinion of those who are members on here and have no ulterior motive.
Most of what is written above is foreign to me and wasn;t explained.
My Doc told me: If it starts hurting again, come see me!
Well, it's hurting but, it's hurting behind my knee when I excercise.
Thank you for your time.
