I do not think it is a very significant finding as it can be because of inflammation. I would like to know what your complete report says. What about graft , Is it normal or thickened or any cyclops lesion is seen. I assure you that if graft is in its placed, then you can be rest assure that you will be fine soon. Keep doing physiotherapy as adviced by your physio.
