Reason: S/P fall. ASSESS for medial meniscal tear right knee. Locking. History: pain Patient motion artifact limits multiple sequences.MENISCI: There is linear increased signal abnormality within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus which extends to the tibial and femoral articular surfaces consistent with complex tear with a large radial component. This tear extends to involve the body of the meniscus as well. The anterior horn appears intact. The lateral meniscus appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is partial-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the weightbearing surface of the medial femoral condyle above the posterior horn of the meniscus. The lateral tibiofemoral compartment articular cartilage appears relatively spared. There is partial-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the lateral facet of the patella. There are tricompartmental osteophytes. There are bone contusions within the medial tibial plateau and medial femoral condyleLIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. There is increased signal abnormality and fluid sensitive sequences about the superficial band of the MCL which may represent a sprain EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
1. Complex tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus including a large radial component. Bone contusions of the medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau.2. Osteoarthritis of the knee with articular cartilage degeneration affecting the medial tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments.3. Sprain of the MCL.
