Is Myxoid Change, A Degenerative Change Caused By Aging Or Cause Due To Trauma Of The Knee?
My son, age 44, injured his left knee. MRI revealed myxoid degenerative change v. tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus and posterior horn of the medial meniscus. What is a myxoid change? Is it a degenerative change caused by aging? Or can it be caused by trauma to the knee?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Here the history it self suggestive of trauma, the changes of knee joint could be due to trauma it self and not because of ageing, the knee joint is very fragile joint particularly, meniscus this is very vulnerable to injury, better to have a opinion form the orthopedic surgeon, have nice day.
