Presentation
Chronic knee pain with multiple prior traumatic incidents, referred from a general practitioner.
Patient Data
Complex meniscal tear with a horizontal and radial component in the anterior horn of the medial meniscus associated with extrusion of the meniscal body and a large lobulated parameniscal cyst.
Oedema around the medial collateral ligament is likely from meniscal degeneration rather than a sprain.
Degeneration of the lateral meniscus.
Altered signal intensities of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, probably due to mucoid degeneration/scarring.
Evidence of proximal patellar tendinosis without evidence of a tear.
Case Discussion
A case with a large parameniscal cyst associated with a medial meniscal tear.
