Knee pain, evaluate for meniscal tear. MENISCI: The medial and lateral menisci are intact. Small para meniscal cysts are present along the posterior aspect of the medial meniscus.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No fractures are identified. Small focus of reactive bone marrow edema is present within the subchondral medial tibial plateau. An additional small focus of reactive bone marrow edema is present within the subchondral lateral patellar facet. There is diffuse near full-thickness cartilaginous thinning within the medial tibiofemoral compartment. There is also mild diffuse thinning of cartilage within the lateral tibiofemoral compartment. There is moderate cartilaginous thinning of the patellofemoral compartment, lateral greater than medial, without full-thickness cartilaginous defects.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
Degenerative osteoarthritic changes with near full-thickness cartilage loss in the medial tibiofemoral compartment with underlying reactive bone marrow edema. Menisci and ligaments are intact.
