Reason: r/o ligamentous/meniscal injury History: pain MENISCI: There is increased signal intensity within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus at its root, likely representing insertional degeneration with a small cyst anterior to the PCL. The medial meniscus appears intact. The lateral meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is focal degeneration of the articular cartilage of the far medial facet of the patella with linear increased signal intensity likely representing a full-thickness or near full-thickness cleft. The medial and lateral compartment cartilage appears intact. LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact. There is a prominent enthesophyte at the insertion of the patellar tendon on the tibia. There is mild edema of the enthesophyte as well as within the underlying tibia. There is mild degeneration of the adjacent patellar tendon as well as mild inflammation within the adjacent soft tissues.ADDITIONAL
1. Prominent enthesophyte along the anterior tibia at the insertion of the patellar tendon with mild degeneration of the adjacent patellar tendon and inflammation of the adjacent soft tissues.2. Focal degeneration and tearing of the articular cartilage of the medial facet of the patella.3. Degeneration of the root of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus with a small adjacent cyst.
