Anterior knee pain MENISCI: No significant abnormality noted.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: The lateral and medial compartments are unremarkable. A bipartite patella is noted. The articular cartilage which overlies the interface of the bipartite patella demonstrates a small focus of low signal intensity which may represent an area of degeneration. Immediately deep to this area is an 8 mm rounded focus of near fluid signal intensity which is situated within the joint between the bipartite patella and anterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle. The etiology of this finding is uncertain but may represent a small ganglion. The remaining femoral cartilage of the femoral trochlea and remaining patella is otherwise normal.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Subcentimeter nodular focus of near fluid signal intensity within the joint immediately anterior to the lateral femoral condyle and subjacent to the patella is of uncertain clinical significance but may represent a ganglion arising from focally degenerated cartilage overlying a bipartite patella. Remaining MRI evaluation of the knee is otherwise normal.
