MRI results- is lateral meniscus damaged or not?

[Leoqueen0810]

INDICATION: Right knee pain, lateral meniscal tear

COMPARISON: None

TECHNIQUE: Axial T2 fat-saturated and proton density fat-saturated; coronal T1
and proton density fat-saturated; and sagittal T2 fat-saturated, proton density
fat-saturated, and gradient echo MRI of the right knee .

CONTRAST:  None.

FINDINGS:

ACL and PCL: Intact.

Collateral ligaments and posterior, lateral corner: Intact.

Extensor mechanism: Quadriceps insertion is normal. Minimal tendinopathy
proximal patellar tendon..

Patellofemoral alignment: No patellar subluxation/tilt. Trochlear groove is not
hypoplastic. TT-TG distance: 12 mm

Joint fluid: Small Baker's cyst. No significant joint effusion

Medial meniscus: Intact.  

Lateral meniscus: Signal abnormality of the anterior horn extends to the femoral
articular surface. This is unusual site for isolated meniscal tear

Articular cartilage: Intact. No focal osteochondral lesion.

Bone marrow: Within normal limits. No acute fracture, dislocation, or marrow
replacing process.

Soft tissue mass: 11 mm ganglion anterior to the lateral joint line.

IMPRESSION:

1 . A 11 mm ganglion in the Hoffa's fat pad anterior to the lateral joint line
2. Signal abnormality anterior horn lateral meniscus, an unusual site for
isolated meniscal tear
