MENISCAL INTRAMENISCAL CYST MRI RADIOLOGY DISCUSSION INTRAMENISCAL CYST. Extensive intra meniscal cyst anterior horn. A tear is not seen extending to the articular margin. However we may not always see the extension on MRI. So if you see an intra-meniscal or parameniscal cyst these are always due to an underlying tear even if we don’t …

SPONDYLOTIC MYELOPATHY MRI RADIOLOGY DISCUSSION SPONDYLOTIC MYELOPATHY Spondylotic Myelopathy is a term used when there is increased cord signal due to extrinsic compression. Patients will often be symptomatic with cord related symptoms. By using the term you are indicating that the patient’s symptoms can potentially be reversed by relieving the compression. WHAT …
MOVE SLIDER ICON (ARROWS) LEFT TO SEE THE DIAGNOSIS WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS Diffuse Increased signal (intermediate) in the Supraspinatus Tendon. WHAT'S THE Dx SUPRASPINATUS TENDINITIS/TENDINOSIS. There is diffuse increased signal in the supraspinatus tendon (Pink arrows). The signal increase is intermediate which is seen on tendinitis and not fluid type signal which is seen …

HIP PARALABRAL CYST MRI LABRUM TEAR DEGENERATION DISCUSSION Hip Paralabral cysts are Hyperintense on PD or T2 Fat Sat and can lie adjacent to or track away from the labrum. The presence of a paralabral cyst is always an indicator of an underlying labral tear even if you cant see the tear. The paralabral cyst …

VERTICAL MENISCUS MENISCAL TEAR MRI KNEE DISCUSSION VERTICAL (LONGITUDINAL) MENISCUS TEAR POSTERIOR HORN. The high signal extends to both the superior and inferior articular margins of the meniscus indicating a tear. It can be easy to overlook peripheral vertical tears as the torn outer fragment (Green arrows) can be very thin and may not …
POPLITEOMENISCAL FASICLES MRI TEAR NORMAL ANATOMY DISCUSSION These structures are the Popliteomeniscal Fascicles. They are the Antero Inferior Fascicle (Blue arrow). The Postero superior Fascicle (Pink arrow) which forms the, Popliteal Hiatus (Orange arrow) for the, Popliteus tendon (Green arrow) to pass through.

PATELLAR TENDON CONTUSION Patellar Tendon Contusion. In this case we have Patellar tendon contusion and Patella contusion. Most commonly this combined appearance would be of Patellar Tendonosis with reactive oedema in the patella and inflammatory change extending into Hoffa’s fat. However the history of trauma in this patient is important in being able …
PARS DEFECT RADIOLOGY MRI DISCUSSION PARS DEFECT There is a gap in the bone of the pars interarticularis (Pink arrow) indicating a pars defect. Compare with the intact pars interarticularis at the level above (Blue arrow) where there is continuous bone. WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS Break in the pars inter-articularis. PARS DEFECT RADIOLOGY MRI: MOVE …
SHOULDER LABRUM NORMAL VARIANTS DISCUSSION Sublabral Foramen & Buford Complex. FINDINGS Two normal variants occur in superior portion of the anterior labrum: Sublabral Foramen (also called Sublabral Hole), The Buford complex.

MENISCUS FIBRILLATION MRI LATERAL MENISCUS DISCUSSION This is NOT a tear. The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus as it approaches its insertion into the tibia is normally fibrillated like this and this is a normal finding.
