Knee pain MENISCI: No significant abnormality noted. There is increased signal intensity within the peripheral fibers of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus which is thought to represent vascularity.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is heterogeneity of the articular cartilage of the medial and lateral compartments but otherwise there is no evidence of full-thickness cartilage defect.There is heterogeneity and areas of near full-thickness to full-thickness loss of articular cartilage of the patellofemoral compartment particularly within the lateral patellar facet. LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The Insall Salvati ratio is borderline elevated at 1.4. The femoral trochlea appears subjectively shallow. The TT to TG distance is normal at 1.5 cm and there is a mild amount of nonspecific increased signal within the superolateral portion of Hoffa's fat pad.ADDITIONAL
Moderate articular cartilage loss and heterogeneity of the patellofemoral compartment with areas of near full-thickness to full-thickness loss of the lateral patellar facet.
