Knee MRI
FINDINGS:
There is a complete disruption of the proximal to mid anterior cruciate ligament. The posterior cruciate ligament is intact. The extensor mechanism and patellar tendon are unremarkable. The medial and lateral collateral ligaments appear normal. There is degenerative signal present within the medial greater than lateral menisci without definite evidence of a tear. There is no significant knee joint effusion. Evaluation of the patellofemoral joint reveals no full thickness cartilaginous defect. A small multiseptated popliteal cyst is identified, The bone marrow signal intensity is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
ACL disruption. Small popliteal cyst. Degenerative signal within the menisci without definite evidence of a tear.
