Can you please interpret my MRI? My orthopedic isn't giving me much information

There is grade 2 to 3 thinning in the medial lateral compartment
cartilage without focal chondral defect. The patellar cartilage
demonstrates minimal thinning. The trochlear cartilage on straight
minimal thinning.

1. Likely partial tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament as there is
intermediate T2 signal intensity as well as abnormal horizontal
orientation of the anterior cruciate ligament suggesting at least some
degree of insufficiency. There are likely intact fibers. Further
evaluation is warranted. No associated kissing contusions are noted at
this time .
