29-year-old male with anterior knee pain. Evaluate quadriceps tendon status. MENISCI: The medial and lateral meniscus appear intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Subcentimeter focus of low signal abnormality in the lateral femoral condyle likely represents a bone island. No additional bone marrow signal abnormality is identified. No full-thickness or near full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact. Specifically the quadriceps tendon appears intact. There is thickening and increased signal abnormality within the distal quadriceps tendon suggesting mild to moderate tendinosis. There is mild increased signal abnormality within the quadriceps fat pad which is nonspecific.ADDITIONAL
Mild to moderate quadriceps tendinosis as described above. The quadriceps tendon appears intact.
