Bilateral knee pain and swelling Left kneeMENISCI: The menisci are well visualized and other than a mild globular signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus without a distinct linear component or extension to an articular surface, and a small posterior para meniscal cyst. No additional acute abnormalities observed other than mild fraying of the inner edge of both menisci.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Moderate diffuse thinning of the cartilage more pronounced in the lateral compartment and patellofemoral surfaces. Associated heterogeneous signal abnormality and shallow focal defects identified involving the lateral patellar facet. No underlying abnormal marrow signal or osseous additional abdomen malleolus and previously described minimal degenerative changesLIGAMENTS: No abnormality noted and well visualized. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
Bilateral mild scattered degenerative changes including cartilaginous changes that are age inconsistent. Menisci also demonstrate similar mild changes as described without distinct focal changes to suggest an acute or subacute tear
