Welcome to health care magic.

1.The report suggest there are post operative changes with degenerative changes in the joint bones and space.
2.There is a signal intensity changes in the ligament - possibly partial tear in the ligament.
3.The cartilage shows changes of softening and thinning as mentioned in report with meniscus post operative changes.
4.The synovial space shows changes of inflammation with signal changes and enhancement probably.
5.Treatment is initially antibiotic treatment to treat any infective / inflammatory changes followed by surgical treatment, if every thing supports TKR might be the treatment of choice.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
