Hello,
I am 38 yo with a right knee that has some surgical history. In 2000, I had my ACL reconstructed, repaired meniscus and a full "clean out" of debris. In 2002, I again had my meniscus repairs and a cleaning. For the last 6+ months I have been in terrible pain. Last Thursday I had a MRI, which was read by the facility and a separate radiologist 4 hours away. So the results were bothersome and I couldn't get an appointment with a OS until 8/24, so I am hoping someone can help me out. I apologize if this is the wrong area to post such a question. My MRI results are:
Degeneration of the ACL graft
Edema tracking along ACL fibers, but the ACL looks intact
ACL revision advised
High grade chondral disease at the posterior aspect of the lateral tibial plateau
Localized chondromalacia along inferior aspect of the median ridge of the patella
Minimal blunting of the free margin of the posterior horn of medial meniscus
New bone formation along lateral wall of the intercondylar notch
I really appreciate any insight you may have. I have researched treatment options and it all points to TKR. I see a lot of knowledge members in the forum and I am trying to prepare myself before the appointment.
Thank you in advance,
Jenn
