Requesting Location:ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC 0058 MUNSON ACH FT LEAVENWORTH KS Status:COMPLETE Result Code: 9 SEE RADIOLOGIST S REPORT Interpreted By:19152 ROHLING, NATHAN J Approved By: 19152 ROHLING, NATHAN J Approved Date:0000 Report Text: MRI LEFT KNEE WITHOUT CONTRAST: Technical Data: Axial T2 fat-sat, coronal T2 fat-sat, sagittal PD fat-sat, sagittal T2 fat-sat and oblique sagittal thin cuts through the ACL were obtained. Comparison: None. Findings: Ligaments:The medial and lateral ligamentous complexes appear intact. There is edema about the medial ligamentous complex. The ACL is fairly well-defined and appears intact. The PCL is well-defined and appears intact. Menisci:There is abnormal signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extending to the inferior articular surface consistent with a tear. There are degenerative changes in the anterior horn of the medial meniscus. There is abnormal signal in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus extending to the inferior articular surface consistent with a tear. There are degenerative changes in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Bone marrow:The bone marrow signal characteristics are unremarkable. There is no evidence of occult fracture, bone marrow edema or osteochondral lesion. Patellofemoral mechanism:The patellar and quadriceps tendons are intact. The medial and lateral retinaculum are intact. There is a small joint effusion. The cartilage in the patellofemoral joint is relatively well-maintained. The para-articular soft tissues are intact. There is no evidence of a Baker s cyst. There is complex cystic area medial to the medial ligamentous complex measuring about 1.6 cm transverse x 2.8 cm AP x 3.8 cm cephalocaudal. IMPRESSION: 1. Tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Degenerative changes are noted in the anterior horn of the medial and lateral menisci. 2. Ligaments appear intact. There is edema about the medial ligamentous complex suggesting a strain. There is a complex cystic area medial to the medial ligamentous complex measuring about 1.6 x 2.8 x 3.8 cm that is probably related to ligamentous injury. 3. No occult fracture, bone marrow edema, or osteochondral lesion. 4. Small joint effusion. 5. Recommend correlation with the clinical symptoms and physical exam to assess the significance of the above findings.
