Knee pain, check for meniscal tear MENISCI: Lateral meniscus is well visualized and normal. The medial meniscus however demonstrates a discrete oblique complex tear through the body extending into the posterior horn and extending to the inferior articular surface. A small flipped fragment towards the midline cannot entirely be excluded (image 11 series 4).ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Heterogeneous signal is observed in the patellar cartilage without focal discrete defect, changes greater along the lateral facet. Medial and lateral compartments are intact. Bone marrow signal is uniform and unremarkableLIGAMENTS: Abnormal increased signal is observed in the distal ACL at the tibial spine attachment. Fibers appear intact, however appearance suggests moderate tendinosis. Additional moderate diffuse thickening of the MCL is identified with out tube appearing signal abnormality; presumably old scarring. The remaining ligaments are otherwise intact and well visualized. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Complex medial meniscal tear involving the body extending into the posterior horn as described. 2. Moderate ACL tendinosis and old suspected scarring of the MCL.
