X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE RIGHT KNEE

INDICATION FOR STUDY:           Pain and swelling.

FINDINGS:               Views of the right knee suggest some minimal narrowing of the medial joint compartment.  Also, there is some early spur formation seen involving the medial femoral condyle and the medial tibial plateau, though this is minimal as noted.  No acute osseous injury is seen and no evidence of prior trauma.  The patella is intact.  There is narrowing of the retropatellar space.  No effusion is identified.

IMPRESSION:         Very early and minimal degenerative change involving the medial joint compartment.

Thank you for the referral.

XXXXXXXXX, M.D.
