Right knee pain MENISCI: There is blunting of the inner free edge of the medial meniscus with some increased signal of the posterior horn thought to represent a small vertical tear. There is no evidence of an unstable meniscal fragment. The lateral meniscus is intact. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild diffuse thinning of the articular cartilage of the medial femoral condyle. There is a mild amount of degenerative marrow signal noted within the medial tibial plateau and femoral condyle. The articular cartilage of the lateral compartment is maintained. There is partial-thickness loss of the articular cartilage of the medial patellar facet with heterogeneous signal and a small focus of partial loss in the lateral patellar facet as well. There is diffuse thinning of the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Vertical tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.2. Mild articular cartilage thinning of the medial condyle and femoral trochlea with areas of partial-thickness loss involving the patellar facets.
