Male, 44 years old. Knee instability MENISCI: There is branching signal abnormality within the posterior horn and body of the medial meniscus indicating a complex, predominantly horizontal tear. There is also blunting of the free edge of the body of the medial meniscus. The lateral meniscus appears normal.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild heterogeneity of the articular cartilage of the patella which may represent early degeneration, but this is equivocal. We see no fluid-filled defects.LIGAMENTS: Mild edema along the superficial band of the MCL is nonspecific but could represent a sprain in the correct clinical context. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
Complex tear of the medial meniscus and other findings as described above.
