This doctor is not available for online consultations on the platform anymore.Hello doctor,
I am a 51-year-old male weighing 200 pounds. Recently, I injured my knee (three weeks ago) due to a fall. I have knee pain that worsens going up and down stairs. MRI showed a local cartilage defect involving the lateral trochlea with subjacent bone marrow edema. I am in good shape and was previously diagnosed with chondromalacia in the same knee. I am taking capsule Celecoxib (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) for the pain. What do the MRI findings mean, and what are my treatment options?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. Your MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) findings indicate patellofemoral arthritis. The treatment options for the condition vary from conservative treatment to joint replacement (partial or complete) depending on the X-ray findings, symptoms, and clinical examination. I suggest you visit a specialist or orthopedic surgeon for a clinical evaluation of your knee.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
