Left knee pain MENISCI: There is complex increased signal within the medial meniscus, particularly within the posterior horn, suggesting the presence of at least an oblique tear. Additionally, there is extrusion of the body of the medial meniscus into the medial gutter.The lateral meniscus is intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is full-thickness cartilage loss of the medial compartment involving both the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau. There is underlying degenerative marrow signal. These findings have progressed from the prior exam. The lateral compartment also demonstrates moderate thinning. Additionally, there is full-thickness articular cartilage loss superimposed upon mild to moderate thinning diffusely. LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: No significant abnormality noted. Subcutaneous edema fluid seen overlying the patella soft tissues.ADDITIONAL
Progression of articular cartilage loss of the knee most notably within the medial compartment where there is extensive full-thickness loss with associated degenerative marrow signal and extrusion of the medial meniscus which appears torn.
