Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzm Slmn / M / 22 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyz. Modi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Knee Joint.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain in the right knee joint since 7 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the right 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 GRASS axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Menisci

There is a linear hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching upto the inferior articular surface and represents Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear).

Linear hyperintense signal is seen in the anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus not reaching upto the articular surface and represent Grade II meniscal signal (meniscal degeneration).

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





Cruciate Ligaments :

A subtle hyperintense signal is seen in the mid portion of the anterior cruciate ligament on all the pulse sequences which may represent a strain.

The posterior cruciate ligament does not show its normal attachment to the femur and is not well-visualized and suggestive of a tear.

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.

Very minimal fluid is seen in the right knee joint.

IMPRESSION :

1. Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear) in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching upto the inferior articular surface.
