The lateral meniscus is normal in morphology and signal intensity.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is edema within the medial aspect of the patella as well as the lateral aspect of the lateral femoral condyle indicating prior transient patellar dislocation. The articular cartilage appears intact.LIGAMENTS: The medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are unremarkable. The medial patellofemoral ligament appears intact and we see no secondary findings such as significant edema, fluid or ligamentous thickening to suggest injury.
