Reason: Rule out fracture History: pain after fall, popping noise in the right knee The bones appear demineralized, suggesting osteopenia. Mild osteoarthritis affects the right knee. We see no acute fracture. There is slight anterior tilting of the patella on the lateral view along with mineralization of the distal quadriceps tendon and a small joint effusion. If there is clinical concern for quadriceps tendon injury, MRI may be considered for further evaluation. Vascular calcifications are noted in the posterior soft tissues.
