Brief Answer:
Suggest degenerative changes of the knee.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns ,
The report of the X-ray that you have mentioned is suggestive of healing of an old fracture of the thigh bone. The findings like contour irregularity, osseous lucency, knee diffusion- mild fluid collection- all these are suggestive of age related degenerative changes in the knee joint.
These also suggest decreased bone formation, low calcium levels, etc. These can be painful changes and can be controlled with mild pain killers and regular physiotherapy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal

Regards.
