No bone marrow signal abnormality is seen.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact. There is a small focus of edema superiorly and centrally within Hoffa's fat pad, which is nonspecific.ADDITIONAL
No patellar chondral lesion is evident. There is a small focus of edema type signal in Hoffa's fat pad which is of questionable clinical significance. We otherwise see no findings to account for the patient's pain.
