Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Sorry, my mistake. Should avoid jargon.

My surgeon said the best way of finding out what was the problem was arthroscopy. To quote him he said that "whilst he was looking around if he found anything wrong he would tidy it with the laser".


Quote:

saying if MRI shows a problem, he would do arthroscopy, if not he would do it anyhow to have a look, so may as well do it straight off!

Sounds like both surgeons trained at the same place Smile

ok, the MRI results are in, in English, I've damaged the cartilage behind the knee cap and he has recommeneded pysio.

For those that can read strange languages it says:

There is an area of quite marked chondral damage present in the patellar articular cartilag. There is irregularity of the cartilage surface with some thickening in keeping with fissuring of the cartilage and degeneration. This is associated with quite focal bone marrow oedame in this area. This mainly affects the lateral articular facet with the trochlear groove cartilage looking well preserved. Normal patellar alignment with normal appearance to the retinaculae and no static MR evidence of maltracking. The remainder of the knee images normally. Specifically the medial tibiofemoral compartment and meniscus image normally.

Post surgical metallic artefact noted in distal femoral shaft

cheers,

Greg

kitenski, Did you know you had the bit of metal in you before the MRI scan? They normally ask you to declare such things on a form before the scan, since the intense magnetic field used can exert strong forces on lumps of metal! Shocked
