Reason: r/o ligamentous/meniscal injury History: pain MENISCI: The medial meniscus appears intact. There is blunting of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus which may represent a combination of postsurgical changes from prior partial meniscectomy, degeneration, and prior tearing. No fluid-filled or unstable tear is evident.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No full-thickness or near full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified. There is a tiny focus of full-thickness chondromalacia along the anterior aspect of the lateral tibial plateau with underlying subchondral signal abnormality, which may be postsurgical in etiology, particularly if there is a history of microfracture.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
Blunting of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus may represent a combination of postsurgical changes from prior partial meniscectomy, degeneration and prior tearing. No fluid-filled or unstable meniscal tear is evident. Other findings as described above.
