Reason: Right knee pain, evaluate for meniscus tear vs chondral injury History: right knee pain MENISCI: There is increased signal abnormality within the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus which extends to the tibial articular surface which likely represents a combination of prior tearing and postsurgical changes from prior partial meniscectomy, appearing similar to the prior study. No fluid-filled tear is evident. There is deformity of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus appearing similar to the prior study, also likely representing a combination of prior tearing and postsurgical change from prior partial meniscectomy. The medial meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is decreased signal abnormality within the articular cartilage along the anterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle which may represent partial thickness articular cartilage degeneration or an articular cartilage cleft. There is a partial thickness articular cartilage defect along the weightbearing surface of the medial femoral condyle above the posterior horn of the meniscus. No full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified. Note is made of multiple foci of decreased signal abnormality within the femoral diaphysis likely representing bone islands.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
Deformity and increased signal abnormality within the lateral meniscus which likely represents a combination of prior tearing and postsurgical change. No fluid-filled tear is evident.
