Pain and swelling, history of MVA. MENISCI: There is a radial tear of the body of the lateral meniscus. The tear itself does not appear to extend through the entire width of the meniscus; however, it may communicate with an intrameniscal cyst within the body and anterior horn of the meniscus, which in turn communicates with a large para-meniscal cyst that extends along the entire anterior horn and body of the meniscus, deep to the iliotibial band and lateral collateral ligament proper. This para-meniscal cyst measures approximately 6 cm in oblique AP dimension and is approximately 1 cm in width at the joint line adjacent to the meniscal body. The medial meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: The articular cartilage appears intact. I see no bone marrow abnormalities.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
Incomplete radial tear of the body of the lateral meniscus, which may communicate with an intrameniscal cyst that in turn communicates with a large para-meniscal cyst, as described above.
