35-year-old male with right knee pain, flexion contracture. Evaluate for chondral injury. Status post right knee patellar tendon repair. MENISCI: There is minimal globular increased signal abnormality within the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus consistent with mucoid degeneration. The medial and lateral meniscus appear intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is a full-thickness articular cartilage defect along the medial facet of the patella with associated articular cartilage delamination. There is a near full-thickness articular cartilage fissure along the far lateral aspect of the lateral facet of the patella with associated delamination of the articular cartilage. There is partial-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyleLIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: There is thickening and deformity of the patellar tendon which presumably represents postsurgical changes and tendinopathy. The patellar tendon appears intact. There is an osseous tunnel in the proximal tibial tubercle consistent with the patient's history of patellar tendon repair.ADDITIONAL
1. Full-thickness articular cartilage defects of the patella as described above.2. Thickening and deformity of the patellar tendon which presumably represents a combination of postsurgical change and tendinopathy.
