Knee pain MENISCI: There is complex branching signal within the body of the medial meniscus reflecting complex tear. Similar findings are also noted within the body of the lateral meniscus compatible with a tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is severe articular cartilage loss of the medial compartment, particularly the anterior femoral condyle with full-thickness cartilage loss. There is underlying degenerative marrow signal of both the femoral and tibial components. Milder changes are noted within the lateral compartment. There is fissuring of the articular cartilage of the patellofemoral compartment with areas of full-thickness articular cartilage loss of the trochlea. LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Complex tearing of the medial and lateral menisci.2. Moderate to severe osteoarthritis with varying degrees of articular cartilage loss which is worst in the medial compartment.
