Knee pain. Question of chondromalacia. MENISCI: There is minimal intrasubstance degeneration within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, however, no discrete tear is identified. The lateral meniscus is intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is generalized thinning of articular cartilage of the weight-bearing portion of the medial femoral condyle without focal chondral defect. The lateral femoral condyle articular cartilage is intact. There is a focal near full thickness to full thickness degeneration of the articular cartilage of the median ridge of the patella with underlying increased T2 signal compatible with bone edema. There is also generalized thinning of the superior medial and lateral patellar facet articular cartilage. LIGAMENTS: The collateral and cruciate ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Chondromalacia of the patellar articular cartilage with underlying bone edema as described above.
