Progressive right knee pain MENISCI: The lateral and medial menisci are intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is moderate loss of the articular cartilage of the patellofemoral articulation particularly along the lateral patellar facet. There is no discrete full-thickness defect however. The articular cartilage of the medial and lateral compartments is maintained.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments are intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: There is a small focus of increased signal within the quadriceps tendon upon its insertion at the patella which may reflect a minimal amount of tendinosis.ADDITIONAL
1. Moderate articular cartilage loss of the patellofemoral articulation. The articular cartilage of the medial and lateral compartments is preserved.2. Mild amount of increased signal noted within the superolateral portion of Hoffa's fat pad which may a component of mild patellofemoral impingement.
