Right knee pain MENISCI: There is deformity and maceration of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus consistent with degeneration and degenerative tearing which extends to the body of the meniscus. There is superficial fraying of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus which extends to involve the tibial articular surface. The medial meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is a focal near full-thickness to full-thickness articular cartilage cleft along the lateral facet of the patella with underlying subchondral cyst formation and degenerative subchondral signal abnormality. There is a tiny focal articular cartilage defect along the weightbearing surface of the lateral femoral above the body of the meniscus. There is subjective thinning of the articular cartilage of the lateral compartment. There is focal full-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the weightbearing surface of the lateral tibial plateau with underlying subchondral cyst formation.There are is thinning of the articular cartilage of the medial compartment without evidence of a full-thickness articular cartilage defect.There are tricompartmental osteophytes.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact. There is mild increased signal abnormality within the distal fibers of the patellar tendon at the level of its insertion on the tibial tubercle which may reflect a mild tendinosis. There is a small amount of fluid within the deep infrapatellar bursa of questionable clinical significance.ADDITIONAL
1. Degeneration and degenerative tearing of the lateral meniscus.2. Osteoarthritis of the knee with focal full-thickness articular cartilage defects/clefts affecting the patellofemoral and lateral tibiofemoral compartments.3. Small joint effusion. Other findings as described above.
