COMPARISON:

Right knee x-ray from 7/13/2015

HISTORY: 63-year-old r/o meniscus tear.

TECHNIQUE AND FINDINGS:

1.5T multiplanar multiweighted MR imaging of the right knee was performed
without contrast.

BONE AND JOINT:
Grade 4 chondral loss is seen across the patellar apex, lateral patellar
facet, medial femoral condyle and, to a lesser extent, the lateral femoral
condyle/lateral tibial plateau. Scattered areas of subcortical cystic
change and edema are seen over the medial and lateral tibial plateaus and
medial femoral condyle.


A small effusion is present.

Tricompartmental joint space loss with marginal osteophytes are present.

MENISCI:
Blunting of the free edge of the lateral meniscus and medial meniscus
bodies is present. There is undersurface irregularity about the posterior
horn medial meniscus.
LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS:
The MCL is intact. The ACL is attenuated. The PCL and lateral collateral
ligamentous complex are intact.

The patellar and quadriceps tendons are normal. The parapatellar
retinacula are preserved.

SOFT TISSUES:
Minimal fluid is present between the semimembranosus and the medial head
of the gastrocnemius which may represent a miniscule Baker's cyst.
