Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzph lmn / M / 22 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhijwala.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Knee Joint.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain in the right knee joint with swelling and inability to bend the RLE since 1 month.

EXAMINATION :

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

4 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and GRASS (with fat saturation) sagittal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

4 mm thick 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 (horizontal meniscal tear).

The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral menisci and 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.


Collateral Ligaments and the Patellar Tendon :

The medial and lateral collateral ligaments and the patellar tendon are normal.

Hoffas Fat Pad :

The Hoffas fat pad is normal.

Articular cartilage and bones :

The articular cartilage overlying the patella, tibia and femur appears normal.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of a horizontal meniscal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the right knee joint.
