Male, 29 years old. Knee pain. Eval for quad strain; meniscal tear. MENISCI: There is vertically oriented intermediate signal within the peripheral fibers of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, likely representing a chronic, possibly healed tear that is continuous with the interface of the ligament of Wrisberg. This appears similar to that seen on the prior study. We see no fluid signal intensity within this tear to indicate instability. The remainder of the lateral meniscus and the medial meniscus appear normal.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: The articular cartilage and bone are normal.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The quadriceps tendon and distal quadriceps musculature appear normal. The patellar tendon appears normal.ADDITIONAL
Possible chronic, healed tear of the vascularized periphery of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. The knee otherwise appears normal.
