Reason: r/o meniscus tear History: pain MENISCI: The medial meniscus appears intact. The lateral meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified. Foci of decreased signal abnormality within the lateral femoral condyle likely represent benign bone islands. Otherwise no bone marrow signal abnormality is identified.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact. There is minimal increased signal abnormality and fluid sensitive sequences within the distal quadriceps tendon which may reflect a very mild tendinosis.ADDITIONAL
Minimal quadriceps tendon tendinosis. Otherwise normal-appearing right knee without evidence of a meniscal tear. Other findings as described above.
