Right knee pain MENISCI: There is an oblique vertical tear of the medial meniscus at the junction of the posterior horn and body. Although the vertical component originates at the inner free edge of the meniscus, this does not appear to extend completely through the peripheral fibers. There is also a horizontally oriented tear of the body of the meniscus that extends from the periphery to the tibial articular surface.The lateral meniscus is intact. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is superficial degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella. A low signal intensity linear focus of the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea may represent focal degeneration. There is also superficial degeneration of the articular cartilage of the medial femoral condyle above the posterior horn of the meniscus. There is also mild edema type signal of the medial tibial plateau below the body of the meniscus which is suspected to be degenerative in nature. The articular cartilage of the lateral compartment appears preserved.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Medial meniscal tears and mild articular cartilage degeneration with other findings described above.
