knee prob have mri results at a loss for what they mean

knee prob have mri results at a loss for what they mean

some background, i fell 15 ft face first on concrete patio, ruptured c6c7 disc in kneck, brok right wrist and left elbow, i ended up with 2 bone bruises, a bakers cyst, torn meniscus and frayed carteledge in right knee, the specialist told me i had pateller tendonitis and that part of my tendon was dead and not getting oxygen like it should.  Since then if i walk for any amount of distance i have bad knee pain, or go up or downstairs, or put all weight on it, i have used a cane since 2006, now that u have the background, i just had a new mri, even though it didnt have the special views that my last one had, but anyway the report said 1, enchondroma, most likely 8 x 6.9 mm present at the diaphyseal/metaphyseal junction, and it appears to be a benign process. and 2nd, fabella posterior to the lateral femoral condylar region, and 3rdly, on axial fat saturated images, this area measures approximately 7.6 mm in ap dimension slightly to the right of midline.  Can anyone tell me what these things are or mean?

Enchondroma is a benign cartilage tumor. the 8X9.mm is the size. The next part is the location of the injury,and type I think.The next part (2nd)post.....region part is near the knee., and the Axial images are the type of  view. Like theu cut the bone across it and lookie down on tp. (just a discription).
It is all on google if you look for a bit.

ty for the reply, i have looked on the internet, not too much about the fabella, neither of these things were on my last 2 mris, just this recent one, and since i stopped growing over 35 yrs ago dunno why i would get those all of a sudden
