What Does My MRI Of The Knee Indicate?
Hello I recently had an MRI of my right knee on 12/04/13 and just found out I have "1. Nondisplaced corner fracture of the posterior lateral tibial plateau with surrounding bone marrow edema and 2. Induration of Hoffa's fat pad with possible calcification or hemosiderin. Nonspecific and may relate to history of synovitis". I was given a dr appt but not until 1/23/14. What or is there anything I should do to be seen by someone else if possible?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You have a fracture of the upper end of tibial bone which is not displaced, meaning it is a stable fracture. Bone marrow edema shows that there is inflammatory changes of the bone around the fracture site. There is also possible inflammation of the fat pad in the knee.
You may contact your GP doctor and take emergency care for the fracture. This may require temporary immobilization depending on the symptoms and magnitude of injury.
