Bilateral knee pain. Check for meniscal injury Left knee:MENISCI: The medial meniscus demonstrates increased signal throughout the apical aspect of the body extending into the posterior horn. A small tear cannot be excluded with horizontal extension along the superior articular surface of the posterior horn (Image 22 series 7). The medial meniscus is otherwise intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Marked tricompartmental cartilaginous thinning most pronounced in the medial compartment. No underlying discrete acute osseous abnormality. Moderate degenerative changes correlating with plain film are observedLIGAMENTS: Ligaments are intact throughout, however mild thickening of the MCL is observed without evidence of acute additional findings. This may represent an old healed scarring in remote injury.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
