Osteoarthritis of medial knee

Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis of medial knee

osteoarthritis

Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with tricompartmental changes of osteoarthritis, most pronounced in the medial tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments of the left knee. Complex tearing of the medial meniscus. Will I eventually need an artificial knee or is this something I have to live with.
Avatar f tn 0cm parameniscal cyst extending inferiorly along the medial margin of the proximal tibial metaphysis. Osteoarthritis most prominently involving the medial and lateral tibia-femoral compartments with mild subchondral reactice bone marrow edema and early subchondral cystic change, and Pes Anserine bursitis.
Avatar n tn If you have locking/catching/clicking and pain on the inside/medial of your knee then likely meniscus tear. If the pain is bad enough, I'd see your PCP who can get an MRI to rule out other things such as meniscus, ACL, OCD lesions, PVNS, etc. Try nsaids, home pt, quad stretching/strengthening.
Avatar n tn Osteochondral lesion also often comes about due to fracture. Sublexation of petella I believe means dislocation of the knee cap. Mucinous degenerative change is kind of rare from what I've read and can limit motion. Are you experiencing that? Plica are layers in the knee. There are usually 4 and they help it bend and move. It sounds like there is an issue with your medial plica. It can be from irritation or injury. Sounds like your knee is jacked up.
Avatar n tn The surgery included a scraping and shaping under the knee cap. After surgery there was still sensitivity on the medial side of knee. Surgeon said it was because of the way the knee was held open during surgery and it would fade. It did for a time and now it is back. If I move my left leg from left to right and have some resistance against the foot there will be a sharp pain in the medial meniscus.
Avatar n tn Full removal possibly could affect stability of the knee, future osteoarthritis risk increases, as well as degeneration of the knee joint. With either a partial or whole removal, care needs to be taken of the nerves passing through the knee. Living with the injury may not be feasible in your case with such a bad tear and recovery very well may require surgery, unfortunately. But do seek a second opinion to feel more comfortable with your choice. Let us know what you think or decide to do.
Avatar f tn Intact collateral ligaments (Looks like this is ok too) The medial meniscus is somewhat diminutive and there is blunting/truncation of the free edge of the midbody segment, morphology consisten with sequela of prior partial meniscectomy. No well-defined component of medial meniscal tear identified. Small focus of ill-defined signal at the free edge of the midbody segment laterial meniscus, consistent with some fraying, also without well-defined component of lateral meniscal tear identified.
Avatar m tn The various other causes of knee locking are torn medial meniscus, mis-aligned knee cap, osteoarthritis, knee arthritis, torn lateral meniscus, osteochondritis dissecans, recurrent patella dislocation, chondromalacia patella, knee alignment problem, knee fragment or knee cartilage disorder. Since pain intensified after a fall, maybe she has injured a ligament. Please discuss with her doctor. It may be a good idea to do a MRI, if that is possible. Take care!
Avatar m tn I have pain in the right knee for two years now. X-rays show lack of fluid in the knee. Thus giving lot of pain. I have tried all sorts of therapies, but to no effect. I am now thinking of either get a shot or replace the knees. The left knee is also on the brink. I have to use pain killers. Please advise about taking a shot if I should take a shot of Synvisc-One. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1037175'>Changing from Supartz to Synvisc-One shots</a>.
Avatar m tn Knee ex-rays show I do have medial bone on bone in knees and osteoarthritis (OA). I felt a bit like I had a brain fog so I got checked out for that. One test after another. MRIs and auto immune test. inconclusive but what lead to further test was something in my blood told doctors I could have an auto immune but not which one. Doctors also said my B12 and D6 were way low. I take those vitamin but I don't feel I am adsorbing them.

529224 tn?1400648219 ) - which my consultant had suggested before first knee OP, and my knee (despite being in a worse arthritic state than the first knee before OP!) improved - I don't have pain, or instability anymore!
Avatar m tn Myxoid degeneration of medial meniscus posterior horn with knee joint effusion and suspected partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament for which clinical correlation is adviced". I get only right knee MRI due to its cost, but I'm suffering of similar pain on both knees. What does this mean? Is there any treatment I can do at home to relief the pain? Thanks!
Avatar m tn You have tear in medial meniscus and degenerative joint changes. Usually oblique and horizontal tears of the medial meniscus involve the white portion of the medial meniscus and are not fully repairable with conservative treatments. The tear in the red zone of medial meniscus will heal with rest, elevation, ice and compression, followed by physiotherapy. However, since big tears usually do not repair fully, partial or complete removal of meniscus (meniscectomy) is performed.
Avatar m tn Osteosrthiritis and for right knee: F/S/O Osteoarthiritis. I am a 60 yr old male having Hypertension 130/90 weighing 93 kgs. I am practising yoga under an MBBS doctors supervision who primarily provide traction using props. The doctors there have advised not to cycle at all and also not to walk unless necessary. Is this the right advice? I need to reduce my weight. Can i use the cycle? since other orthopedic doctors i consulted have suggested that i should cycle.
Avatar n tn There is complex tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extending into the body. No significant extrusion or evidence of detached fragment. There is diffuse thinning of articular cartilage at the weightbearing aspect of the medial compartment, without full-thickness defect. The lateral meniscus is normal in size, shape, and signal. There is mild diffuse cartilage thinning throughout the weightbearing lateral compartment, without full-thickness defect.
Avatar m tn I began to get pain in my toe joints, when this occurred, I must have started to compensate for this by putting more stress on my knees. Currently, I have a lot of knee pain, with my left knee hurting much more than my right. However, my right knee also hurts depending on how it is used; additionally, it also cracks (without pain), when I use it.
Avatar m tn my name is wishyiar// mri scan for left knee says /bony contusion at medial condyle due to associated degenerative changes anterior joint effusion is noted grade 2 posterior horn degenerative changes at medial meniscus noted with normal meniscus apart from anterior horn meniscal syst.
Avatar f tn Right knee X-Ray indicates some distortion on the medial side of femur bone where MCL attaches. However the radiologist did not mention anything, I feel stretch in muscles at this point that restricts my knee to bend further. The doctor says that it is a non-concluding observation. Is it a distortion? If yes, what is it?
