Pain after injury MENISCI: There is mildly increased signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus suggesting degeneration although there is no discrete tear identified within either lateral or medial menisci.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Scattered areas of partial and full-thickness articular cartilage loss are seen in the medial patellar facet. There is diffuse thinning of the articular cartilage of the lateral compartment without full-thickness defect. Moderate articular cartilage loss of the patellofemoral compartment is also noted particularly involving the lateral patellar facet.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Varying degrees of articular cartilage loss which is worst in the medial compartment which contains small areas of full-thickness defects.2. Small joint effusion.
