Patient presenting with pain after hyperflexion and valgus injury, evaluate medial meniscus and MCL. MENISCI: We see no definite meniscal tear. Intermediate signal in the periphery of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus medial to its root is felt to represent normal anatomy for this patient. Lateral meniscus appears normal.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Bone marrow is normal. We see no articular cartilage defects. LIGAMENTS: There is mild edema along the medial collateral ligament that may represent a mild sprain, but the ligament itself is normal.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL
Mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in the otherwise normal-appearing knee.
