48-year-old male with left knee pain and swelling. MENISCI: There is linear signal abnormality within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extending to the tibial articular surface consistent with a horizontal cleavage tear, extending to involve the body of the meniscus. The anterior horn appears intact. There is linear increased signal abnormality within the body and posterior horn of the lateral meniscus which extends to the tibial articular surface consistent with a horizontal tear. The anterior horn appears intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No full-thickness or near full-thickness articular cartilage defects are identified. There is partial-thickness articular cartilage degeneration along the lateral aspect of the weightbearing surface of the medial femoral condyle, best seen on series 801. The lateral and patellofemoral compartments appear relatively spared.LIGAMENTS: The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism appears intact.ADDITIONAL
1. Tearing of the medial and lateral meniscus as described above. 2. Articular cartilage degeneration as described above. 3. Small joint effusion.
