Reason: l knee ACL tear + meniscal pathology History: + Lt anterior drawer and McMurry MENISCI: Medial meniscus and lateral meniscus are normal in morphology and signal characteristics.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Articular cartilages appear intact. There is cystic lesion in the proximal tibia, likely representing intraosseous ganglion cyst. Fabella is noted. LIGAMENTS: Thinning and increased signal particularly at the origin of the ACL is noted (series 5 image 18). Although some fibers appear intact but partial tear is of concern. PCL, MCL, and LCL appear intact.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: Patellar ligament and quadriceps tendon appear intact.ADDITIONAL
Thinning and increased signal of the ACL with some intact fibers, partial tear is of concern.
