Reason: eval for meniscal tear History: knee pain 2-3 months ago with rugby injury and still with pain, joint pain, pain with walking and lateral side MENISCI: There is abnormal signal intensity and deformity of the anterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus representing a tear, with low signal intensity adjacent to the peripheral fibers of the body of the meniscus likely representing a displaced meniscal flap fragment. The posterior horn of the lateral meniscus appears intact. The medial meniscus appears intact. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is edema within the lateral tibial plateau posteriorly, representing a contusion, adjacent to subchondral low signal intensity that may represent a nondisplaced subchondral fracture. There is relatively mild edema within the lateral femoral condyle, also likely representing contusion. There appears to be superficial loss of articular cartilage along the lateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle adjacent to the free edge of the posterior horn of the meniscus. The remaining articular cartilage appears normal.LIGAMENTS: The collateral and cruciate ligaments of the knee are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The quadriceps and patellar tendons are normal.ADDITIONAL
1.Lateral meniscal tear as described above. 2.Lateral tibial plateau bone contusion and possible nondisplaced subchondral fracture as above. 3.Other findings as above.
