Follow up from 2011. Had partial patellar tendon rupture. Pt without follow up, now increased pain. Evaluate for further rupture. MENISCI: There is increased internal signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus; this does not appear to reach the surface and there is no definite evidence of a tear. The lateral meniscus is intact. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is a full thickness defect measuring up to 4-5 mm in width of the lateral facet of the patellar cartilage with underlying increased T2 bone marrow signal compatible with edema. LIGAMENTS: The collateral and cruciate ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The patellar tendon is intact. ADDITIONAL
1. Focal chondral defect of the patellar articular cartilage with underlying bone edema.2. Intact patellar tendons and cruciate ligaments.3. Abnormal internal signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus without definite tear.
