Left knee pain. MENISCI: The lateral meniscus appears intact. There is blunting of the body and posterior horn of the medial meniscus in a configuration compatible with prior meniscectomy. No discrete tears are identified within the medial meniscus.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Tricompartmental osteophytes are present. There are areas of abnormally decreased T1 signal with associated mixed T2 signal within the medial femoral condyle as well as the medial tibial plateau in a pattern suggestive of microfracture procedure. There is full-thickness loss of cartilage throughout the medial tibiofemoral compartment, progressed from the prior examination. There is mild diffuse thinning of the cartilage of the lateral tibiofemoral as well as patellofemoral compartments without focal cartilaginous defects.LIGAMENTS: The collateral and cruciate ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
1.Degenerative osteoarthritic changes including full-thickness loss of cartilage throughout much of the medial tibiofemoral compartment, progressed from prior. Bone marrow signal changes in the medial tibiofemoral compartment suggestive of interval microfracture procedure.2.Postsurgical changes of medial meniscectomy without discrete meniscal tears.
