Knee pain MENISCI: There is mild fraying of the inner free edge of both the medial and lateral menisci. There is no evidence of a meniscal tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild thinning of the articular cartilage of the lateral compartment otherwise the articular cartilage of the medial, patellofemoral, and lateral compartments are intact. Low signal intensity foci are noted within the joint space just posterior to the ACL (best seen on series 5 image 20/36).LIGAMENTS: There is mild signal intensity within the anterior fibers of the MCL which may relate to remote injury however the MCL is intact. The remaining cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Low signal intensity foci within the joint space posterior to the ACL correspond to findings on recent radiographs and reflect fixed calcifications. Otherwise there is no acute internal derangement of the knee.
