C/O pain in the left knee with swelling since 3 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the left knee joint was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and GRASS sagittal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Menisci :

There is a curvilinear hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching upto the inferior articular surface and would represent Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear) (scans 104.4, 102.4).

The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus and the anterior horn of the medial meniscus reveal normal configuration and signal characteristics.

Cruciate Ligaments :

The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments show normal contour and signal characteristics.
