Medial knee pain Evaluation is limited by motion artifact particularly of the axial sequences.MENISCI: No significant abnormality noted.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is severe degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella, particularly of the medial facet where there is full-thickness cartilage loss. There are degenerative subchondral marrow changes in the underlying patella. There is relatively focal degeneration of the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea inferiorly along the medial facet. There is also focal full-thickness degeneration of the articular cartilage of the weightbearing portion of the medial femoral condyle with adjacent cartilage thinning and delamination. Cysts within the medial tibial plateau posteriorly are of questionable clinical significance. The articular cartilage of the lateral compartment is relatively spared.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Cartilage degeneration as detailed above which most severely affects the patella.
