Here's my report for my again twisted right knee :
There was been a prior complete tear at the femoral attachment of the right anterior cruciate ligament, with a gap of approximately 1.5cm. The remnant inferior portion of the ligament has an abnormal horizontal orientation, and shows attenuation as well.
There is minimal degree of soft tissue oedema surrounding the femoral attachment of the right medial collateral ligament. The medial collateral ligament itself remains intact with no discrete tear or thickening.
No tear is noted within the right posterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament. No strain or injury to the infrapatellar tendon as well as the insertion of the right popliteus tendon is noted.
Both the right medial and lateral menisci demonstrate normal triangular configuration and signal void, with no evidence of tear. The posterior horn tibial attachment of the right medial meniscus remains intact. No displaced flap or free fragment is seen, no meniscal cyst formation is noted.
There is a focal bone marrow oedema pattern present on the anterior aspect weightbearing portion of the right lateral femoral condyle, with slight thinning of the overlying articular cartilage and depression of the cortical surface. Opposing bone marrow oedema pattern is noted in the posterior medial and posterior lateral aspects of the right tibial plateau as well. No discrete fractur line is noted. No other focus of bone marrow oedema pattern is seen in the distal right femur, proximal right tibial and fibula and the right patella. No lateral tilt or subluxation of the right patella is seen.
There is a small effusion demonstrated within the right knee joint. The articular cartilage over the posterior surface of the patella, opposing femoral trochlea, medial femoral condyle and medial and lateral tibial plateaus are relatively preserved. Only slight thinning of the articular cartilage over the anterior portion of the right lateral femoral condyle is noted.
Summary of Findings:
well, i gt no idea what the total report means but i noe my ACL's still gone. *duh* my other precious ligaments are still v happy in their respective positions which is a good thing for mi =D juz a lil strain on my MCL tts all.. so guess i'll wait till army to op ba =)
sch's startin soon. damn holis. haiz =s oo well. i'll put in my 110% for my final sems. i promise =) bye.

Summary of Findings:
- Complete prior tear and avulsion of the femoral attachment of the right anterior cruciate ligament, with only a thin remnant of ligament noted at the inferior aspect.
- Minimal degree of strain without discrete tear in the femoral attachment of the right medial collateral ligament.
- Recent episode of tibial translation with impaction injury and underlying bone marrow oedema pattern in the anterior aspect weightbearing portion of the right lateral femoral condyle and posterior aspect of the right tibial plateau. This is consistent with ACL deficiency.
- Small effusion in the right knee joint. No cartilaginous injury or defect is seen.
- No meniscal tear is demonstrated in the right knee.
