History
Rule out internal derangement.

Procedure
Sagittal T1- and T2-weighted images and fast spin echo and coronal T2-weighted images are acquired.

Findings
Within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus there is minimal increase in signal intensity; however, this does not extend to a joint surface and therefore does not represent a tear. The lateral meniscus is normal. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are visualized and are normal. There is a joint diffusion present with a small superior joint plicae. No interarticular loose bodies are identified. There is no focal marrow edema. The collateral ligaments appear normal.

Opinion: 1) Joint diffusion with superior joint plicae. Minimal increased signal within the posterior horn of medial meniscus consistent with intermeniscal degeneration. No evidence of meniscal tear.
