56-year-old female with degenerative menisci and IT band infection syndrome. MENISCI: Intrasubstance signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus compatible with intrasubstance degeneration. No definite tear. Apparent increased signal intensity within the root of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus likely represents pulsation artifact. No definite tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is superficial delamination of the articular cartilage of the lateral facet of the patella. Focal blistering of the articular cartilage of the medial facet likely degenerative in etiology. Articular cartilage of the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments appears normal for age Bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: Extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
1.Findings compatible with mild IT band friction syndrome.2.Degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella.3.Mild meniscal degeneration.
