Male, 44 years old. Status post right knee arthroscopy, medial meniscectomy 9/2015 with bakers cyst. Pain. MENISCI: There is attenuation of the body and posterior horn of the medial meniscus, likely representing interval partial meniscectomy. Intrameniscal signal contacting the articular surface is noted. We suspect this simply represents residual myxoid degeneration, and we see no fluid signal entering the meniscus to confirm an unstable tear. The lateral meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is minimal superficial fraying of the articular cartilage of the medial patellar facet. The remainder of the articular cartilage is intact.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
1.Medial meniscal abnormalities are most suggestive of prior partial meniscectomy. Although we cannot exclude a tear, we see no fluid signal entering the meniscus to confirm an unstable tear.2.Joint effusion, Baker's cyst, and other findings as above.
