Left knee pain, check for meniscal tear MENISCI: A discrete oblique tear within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extends to the inferior articular surface extending towards the body. The remainder of the meniscus otherwise is significant for blunting of the anterior horn representing degeneration along the free anterior edge. The lateral meniscus is otherwise intactARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Focal cleft is observed in the lateral femoral condylar cartilage laterally (image 11 series 901) with mild thinning. More pronounced cartilaginous loss deep to bone with underlying degenerative changes and small cysts is otherwise observed in the medial compartment, covering an area of at least 2 cm. Tibial plateau cartilage is grossly intact as well as the patellar cartilage and compartment. Scattered moderate degenerative changes more pronounced laterally, specifically an unusual bulky osteophyte is otherwise observed anterior and lateral to the femoral condyle. No additional osseous or marrow signal changesLIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Moderate to extensive cartilaginous defects in both the medial and lateral compartments along with an oblique tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus
