Knee MRI

Can you please explain what these results of a knee MRI mean? "...slight increased signal to the medial femoral condyle near the insertion of the medial collateral ligament..."  Thank you!

Really not sure to be honest.  If you have a history of trauma, then probably more from that. Could be almost anything, or nothing at all.

Thank you for your response.  (Would it have anything to do with having scleroderma?).

It may reflect a mild injury to the MCL where it attaches to your femur.
