Knee pain MENISCI: There is minimal fraying of the undersurface of the posterior horn and body of the medial meniscus but we see no discrete medial or lateral meniscal tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Again seen is moderate degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella with foci of near full-thickness to full-thickness degeneration affecting both the lateral and medial facets with associated subchondral marrow signal abnormality appearing similar to the prior exam. There is also near full-thickness to full-thickness cartilage loss of the posterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle, also appearing similar to the prior exam. Subjectively, the articular cartilage of the weightbearing portion of the medial compartment appears thinned. Subchondral cysts are noted in the lateral tibial plateau with degeneration of the overlying cartilage. Edema type signal within the intercondylar eminence appears less prominent than on the prior exam.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Possible mild undersurface fraying of the medial meniscus with no discrete medial or lateral meniscal tear.2. Tricompartmental cartilage degeneration as detailed above which overall appears similar to the prior exam.
