Right knee pain Evaluation is suboptimal as a dedicated knee coil was unable to be used due to the size of the knee.MENISCI: There is abnormal morphology and signal intensity of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus indicating a complex tear with possible partial root avulsion. There is attenuation of the body of the medial meniscus which is also slightly extruded medially. The anterior horn of the medial meniscus is intact. The lateral meniscus is intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is partial-thickness degeneration of the articular cartilage of the medial femoral condyle just above and anterior to the torn posterior horn of the medial meniscus. There is thinning of the articular cartilage of the medial tibial plateau especially posteriorly. The lateral compartment cartilage is relatively intact. The patellofemoral compartment demonstrates near full-thickness degeneration of the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea centrally and along the medial facet and partial degeneration of the articular cartilage of the medial patellar facet. Tricompartmental osteophytes are present and the underlying marrow signal is normal.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted. There is nonspecific subcutaneous edema anterior to the patella which may be clinically insignificant.ADDITIONAL
1. Complex tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.2. Osteoarthritis and cartilage loss of the knee, further described above.3. Small to moderate joint effusion with additional findings detailed above.
