Knee pain MENISCI: There is an oblique tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. There is thinning of the lateral meniscus with mildly increased intrasubstance signal representing degeneration however no discrete tear is identified.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild diffuse thinning of the articular cartilage of the medial compartment with a small full-thickness defect identified along the femoral condyle anteriorly. Mild diffuse thinning of the articular cartilage also affects the lateral and patellofemoral compartments although no focal full-thickness defect is identified.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Oblique tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The lateral meniscus demonstrates thinning and intrasubstance degeneration but without focal tear.2. Mild diffuse tricompartmental cartilage thinning with a small focal full-thickness defect within the medial femoral condyle anteriorly.
