Check for meniscal injury, pain MENISCI: No significant abnormality noted. Specifically menisci are well positioned and anchored posteriorly. No abnormal internal signalARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Moderate thinning of the cartilage in all compartments with associated focal scattered more focal changes involving the medial and lateral anterior condylar surfaces and medially. No distinct full thickness defects. The patellar surface also demonstrates a linear fluid signal underlying the inferior patellar cartilage without a clear cleft to the surface. Partial delamination cannot be excluded. Moderate osteoarthritic changes are again observed and in alignment with correlating plain films.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Moderate to more pronounced cartilaginous abnormalities as described with degenerative osteoarthritic disease. No distinct meniscal or ligamentous injuries are otherwise observed.
