Reason: Possible meniscal tear History: Knee pain, joint line tenderness MENISCI: Normal appearing menisci bilaterally.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is focal low signal intensity within the articular cartilage of the lateral tibial plateau just anterior to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus likely representing focal degeneration. There is also a focal near full-thickness fluid-filled defect along the articular cartilage of the lateral femoral condyle just posterior to the meniscus. LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Normal appearing menisci.2. Focal cartilage defects/degeneration in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment.
