34-year-old male with bilateral posterior joint line pain and IT band pain and sports/running on and off for 2 years MENISCI: The lateral meniscus appears intact. The medial meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No full-thickness or near full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified. The patellofemoral compartment cartilage appears relatively spared.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. Specifically, there is no increased signal abnormality within the lateral synovial recess to suggest IT band syndrome as clinically questioned. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
Marked fatty atrophy of the semimembranosus muscle is nonspecific but may be secondary to denervation, although atrophy due to an old proximal hamstring tear could also be considered. No findings to suggest iliotibial band friction syndrome.
