71-year-old female with persistent pain and swelling after minor trauma. MENISCI: There is linear increased signal abnormality which extends to the tibial articular surface of a blunted posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. There is increased signal abnormality and deformity of the body of the lateral meniscus. These findings are consistent with complex degenerative tearing of the lateral meniscus. The medial meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is a linear focus of decreased T1 signal abnormality with associated increased T2 signal abnormality in the inferomedial patella consistent with an acute fracture. There is associated extensive bone marrow edema type signal abnormality affecting the patella in the surrounding area. There is grade 2 chondromalacia affecting the articular cartilage of the lateral facet of the patella. There are no full-thickness or near full-thickness articular cartilage defects. LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
Nondisplaced fracture of the patella as well as complex degenerative tearing of the lateral meniscus, as described above.
