Reason: knee pain, s/p patellar dislocation History: knee pain MENISCI: No significant abnormality noted.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: No full-thickness cartilaginous defect is identified. There may be partial thickness tearing of the articular cartilage along the inferior-most aspect of the lateral facet of the patella, although this is equivocal and may simply represent volume averaging with adjacent fluid in the joint.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1.Mild edema of the superolateral aspect of Hoffa's fat pad, which can be associated with patellofemoral instability, but we see no specific imaging findings of prior patellar dislocation.2.Equivocal partial thickness tearing of the articular cartilage along the inferior aspect of the lateral facet of the patella. Otherwise, normal exam.
