gibberish
Here's my MRI report, reproduced (almost) verbatim. Now only if I understood medicalese.
HISTORY
Right knee MCL sprain and medial meniscal tear. Twisted right knee in 12/04. Tender around joint.
Open in valgus stress 30 degrees.
REPORT
Multiplanar MRI of the right knee was obtained. There was no previous study available for comparison.
Full thickness cartilage defect measuring 1.2 cm in size is present at the lateral femoral condyle (series 1 image 12). This defect extends into the subchondral bone, with evidence of bone marrow oedema.
Fluid underlies the superficial medial collateral ligament and this suggests tear of the deep medial collateral ligament.
Small knee effusion is present.
Foci of increased signal intensities are present in the medial and lateral menisci. However, they do not extend to the articular surfaces and are compatible with degeneration.
The posterior cruciate ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament, popliteus tendon and muscle are intact.
CONCLUSIONS
1. 1.2cm full thickness cartilage defect extending into the subchondral bone at the right lateral femoral condyle associated with bone marrow oedema.
2. Suggestion of deep medial collateral ligament tear.
3. Small right knee effusion
Anyone fluent in dry medical terminology? Your assistance is much appreciated!

I think they are trying to say that your meniscal tear is verbatim valgus lateral menisci with degeneration intensities. Your femoral condyle oedema must foci the superficial medial collateral ligament or else your posterior cruciate ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament, popliteus tendon would case you to be downgraded, but not before Mr Quah uses you as a Pinata for his daughter's next birthday party.
well mr quah is out of the country until next friday, conveniently missing the sar21 range appointments.
your knee is spoilt
gee thanks einstein
