Reason: Meniscus tear History: Catching and locking. MENISCI: Globular intrasubstance signal within the lateral meniscus compatible with degeneration.Undersurface fraying and degenerative tearing of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus. The posterior horn of the medial meniscus is small with medial extrusion compatible with degeneration. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Diffusely thinned and degenerated lateral tibiofemoral compartment articular cartilage. Diffusely thinned and degenerated medial tibiofemoral compartment articular cartilage. Full-thickness loss of the patellofemoral compartment with subchondral cyst formation within the lateral facet of the patella and lateral trochlea.Tricompartmental osteophytes.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
Degenerative changes as described above.
