Knee instability MENISCI: There is mild irregularity of the free edge of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus with similar but more conspicuous findings noted in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus near the root. This may reflect degeneration/degenerative tearing, but is of questionable significance.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is redemonstration of an oblique nondisplaced fracture through the patella that involves the underlying articular cartilage. Additionally, there is subchondral cystic change and focal full-thickness degenerative cartilage loss of the lateral tibial plateau.LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. Specifically, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and the collateral ligaments are intact.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The quadriceps tendon is normal. There is mild increased signal and thickening of the patellar tendon reflecting mild tendinosis.ADDITIONAL
1. Redemonstration of nondisplaced patellar fracture.2. Intact cruciate and collateral ligaments.3. Additional findings described above.
