63-year-old female with right meniscus pain MENISCI: Mild globular intermediate signal within the lateral meniscus with blunting of the free edge (series 12, image 18). Loculated fluid along the anterior and lateral tibiofemoral compartment may represent a parameniscal cyst.The medial meniscus is diminutive with degenerative tearing of the posterior horn including a probable radial tear. There is medial extrusion of the body of the medial meniscus. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Increased edema type marrow signal is noted at the patellofemoral compartment. Diffuse severe chondromalacia of the patellofemoral compartment, lateral worse than medial, with subchondral cysts and edema.Moderate degenerative disease affects the medial tibiofemoral compartment. Moderate degenerative disease affects the lateral tibiofemoral compartment. Bilateral tibiofemoral osteophytes.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate ligaments are intact. High signal at the femoral portion of the ACL may represent a ganglion. The medial collateral ligament is slightly thickened without abnormal signal, possibly chronic. The lateral collateral ligament complex is intact.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1.Degenerative tearing of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus as described above. Degenerative tearing of the lateral meniscus. 2.Loculated fluid along the anterior and lateral tibiofemoral compartment may represent a parameniscal cyst.3.Moderate to severe osteoarthritis worst at the patellofemoral compartment as described above. 4.Small joint effusion. Small Baker's cyst.
