Left pic looks like you've got a camel in your knee.
Other than that, looks ok.
Other than that, looks ok.
2 things stand out to me.
1.In the left pic, in the center of my knee where the cartlidge would be, there seems like a that group of jagged looking bone shouldn't look like that.
2. In the right pic, if you look on the left of the pic ( behind my knee ) you can see what looks like just a piece of bone floating there...any idea? I do have issues back there too.
As for the squats. I am unable to do them because of this knee.

was expecting a dick in the xray....am disappoint
I am on mobile right now. Give me just a little bit and I will read this... For teaching purposes and information only. Not medical advice! This should always be read by a radiologist to and nothing I post on here should ever be taken as medical guidance
Alright, so lets learn how to read a knee xray and then talk about it:
A - femur
B - outline of patella/patella (kneecap)
C - medial condyle
D - lateral condyle
E - medial plateau
F - lateral plateau
G - Tibia
H - Fibula
I - fabella
So how to read?
Glance at it. With time, the general shape of common anatomatical structures like bowel or joints 'looks normal'. Outcome? Generally normal knee.
The start working through in a systematic order to examine detail. You can see the quad muscles on either side of the femur. They are largely in place without significant distorition. Patella is in place Joint spacing between patella, femar, tibia, fibular are all intact and largely symmetric. Going back over same anatomy, bones are intact without obvious fracture. Going back again along edges, all intact without obvious fracture.
Outcome? Normal xray.
2> Fabella. Normal sesimoid bone.
A - femur
B - outline of patella/patella (kneecap)
C - medial condyle
D - lateral condyle
E - medial plateau
F - lateral plateau
G - Tibia
H - Fibula
I - fabella

1> Tibial spines. It;s normal. Your femur rests in the plateaus of the tibia
2> Fabella. Normal sesimoid bone.
Well in fairness, I did say it wasn't medical advice.
Here's the medical advice... Normal xray or AIDS
I'm actually getting a arthroscopie on my right knee this thursday, had an Xray and MRI they couldnt find shit.
Pain?
Small meniscus tear maybe. If they see it, they'll clean it up. Maybe less pain now and maybe more arthritis later...that you might get anyways
Thanks Splinty. I didn't expect anything to show up on the Xray. Had to get it for insurance reasons before they will allow for an MRI. I am surprised that no wear shown up on some of the bones because I been dealing with some immense grinding in one spot ( C and E ). Was last told I had chondromalacia patella and some deformity was seen in my last MRI ( 4 years ago )

So i had my arthroscopy today, they made three little cuts went in with a camera, fluid and a some other thing( probably a laser, i was still high off the anaesthesia don't know for sure) that can burn of excess tissue.
So i had some kind of tissue in there that was popping my knee out and they burned it off they told me the knee itself looked very good and there was no other problem with it.
The doctor told me that after the swelling goes down, i should be ok and it would stop locking on me.
I'm on crutches for next two weeks probably and my knee is very swollen and hurts like hell, i can't stand on it yet.
I thought i would be up and about in few hours, no such luck.
