Interpretation of MR findings (magnetic resonance)
Clinical data: Joint pain. MR of the right knee: Minimal effusion. Thin medial patellar fold. Appropriate height and position of the patella. Appropriate trochlear depth. Distinctly uneven cartilage of the medial facet of the patella, some fissures extending through 2/3 of the thickness. Medial patellar bone edema signal. In the other parts, the cartilage is preserved. The rest of the skeleton has a normal signal. The quadriceps tendon, patellar ligament and retinaculum are preserved. The meniscus, cruciate and collateral ligament complexes are fine. Opinion: Chondropathy of the medial facet of the patella grade 2-3 with bone irritation. 1 year and 10 month old report. Until now, I carefully perform such exercises for gaining muscle mass, which do not burden the knees. Now there is no pain and swollen knees, but when squatting there is a strong cracking in the knees (especially in the right), I wonder if it makes sense to run with such a knee (the physiatrist said that if there is no pain, I should keep exercising to gain muscle mass and other sports normally). I would like to run a marathon in October (I'm used to running and fast walking - I do it regularly), but never on such a large scale. I would like an opinion. Thank you 😃
