Knee pain MENISCI: The lateral meniscus is intact. There is blunting of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus with increased signal intensity representing complex tearing which includes a radial component and extends to involve the body.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is particular cartilage of the lateral compartment appears intact although there are some areas of heterogeneity along the intercondylar notch suggesting some thinning and degeneration. Note is also made of small notch osteophytes which impinge upon the ACL. The articular cartilage of the medial compartment demonstrates areas of full-thickness loss along the medial femoral condyle posteriorly with associated degenerative subchondral marrow changes. The articular cartilage of the patellofemoral compartment demonstrates a small partial-thickness defect of the medial patellar facet but otherwise there are no full-thickness defects.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Complex tear of the medial meniscus involving the posterior horn and body.2. Areas of full-thickness cartilage loss of the medial femoral condyle. There are no full-thickness defects identified within the patellofemoral or lateral compartments.
