Female, 26 years old. Knee pain, anterior joint line. MENISCI: The menisci are normal.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Foci of low signal within the articular cartilage of the lateral patellar facet inferiorly and the central femoral trochlea inferiorly may represent small foci of degeneration, but we see no fluid-filled cartilage defects. Bone marrow signal intensity is normal.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: There is focal intermediate signal intensity within the medial insertional fibers of the quadriceps tendon, perhaps representing very mild focal tendinosis. There is also mild edema of the quadriceps fat pad which is of questionable significance. There is mild increased signal intensity within the proximal patellar tendon, which may reflect mild tendinosis, but the patellar tendon otherwise appears normal. ADDITIONAL
1.No meniscal tear.2.Minimal insertional tendinosis of the distal quadriceps and proximal patellar tendons.3.Small foci of cartilage degeneration involving the patellofemoral joint.
