57-year-old male with right knee pain. Meniscal tear medial? MENISCI: There is a complex tear of the medial meniscus involving the body and posterior horn. This includes truncation of the free edge of the body and posterior horn, indicating a radial tear, with an additional horizontal tear of the posterior horn extending to the tibial articular surface. Furthermore, there is extrusion of degenerated meniscal tissue into the medial gutter of the knee, beneath the body of the meniscus. The anterior horn appears intact. The lateral meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild bone marrow edema type signal within the far medial aspect of the medial tibial plateau and weightbearing surface of the medial femoral condyle adjacent to the torn meniscus. There is tapering of the articular cartilage at this site, suggesting chronic degeneration. There is focal increased signal intensity of the articular cartilage of the weightbearing surface of the lateral tibial plateau suggesting near full thickness degeneration. There is full-thickness degeneration of the articular cartilage of the median eminence of the patella, superiorly, as well as along the far medial aspect of the patella. There is superficial degeneration of the remainder of the patellar cartilage as well as the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea. Thickened trabeculae within the lateral femoral condyle are not associated with edema and probably of no clinical significance.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
Complex tear of the medial meniscus and other findings as described above.
