Left knee clicking and instability. Due to the patient's body habitus the high definition knee coil could not be used. An alternate knee coil was used instead resulting in slightly suboptimal image quality.MENISCI: Minimal increased signal intensity along the undersurface of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus may represent fraying, but we see no discrete fluid-filled tear. The medial meniscus is unremarkable.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Foci of increased signal intensity within the articular cartilage of the medial facet of the patella likely represent regions of degeneration. The articular cartilage of the tibiofemoral compartments appears preserved.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Findings suggestive of undersurface fraying of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus with no discrete fluid-filled tear evident.2. Focal degeneration of the articular cartilage of the medial facet of the patella.
