The Knee
Supra-Patellar LAX and SAX
In LAX and SAX the Supra-Patellar Bursa/Pouch did/did not demonstrate excess fluid
effusion and/or intra-bursal debris from synovial hypertrophy and extra-capsular
migration. The SAX Sunrise view does/does not reveal osteophyte formation at the
Medial and/or Lateral Trochlear peaks. The hyaline cartilage interface is thick/well-
defined and does/does not follow/duplicate the Trochlear bony contour.
Infra-Patellar LAX and SAX
In LAX the two subcutaneous bursae (Pre-Patellar,Infra-Patellar) are/are not
effused/visible. The Patellar Tendon/Ligament does/does not demonstrate hyper-echoic
fibrous echotexture. The deep margin of the tendon/ligament are positive/negative for
Jumper’s knee proximally and Deep Infra-Patellar Bursa effusion distally. Hoffa’s Fat Pad,
deep to the tendon/ligament does/does not show sonographic changes of
inflammation/edema. Contra-lateral imaging was/was not performed for comparison.
Lateral Collateral Ligament and Lateral Meniscus and Ilio-Tibial Band LAX
In LAX the LCL is/is not intact at its Fibular attachment. The peripheral (postero-lateral)
margin of the Lateral Meniscus does/does not demonstrate irregularity/disruption as in
meniscal tear. Sub-ITB fluid collection at the Lateral Femoral Condyle and attachment
deformity at Gerdy’s Tubercle is/is not demonstrated.
Medial Meniscus Medial Collateral Ligament and Pes Anserine Bursa LAX
In LAX the Menisco-Femoral and Superficial portions/interfaces of the MCL are/are not
intact with/without focal areas of non-visualization as with tears. The visible Medial
Meniscus does/does not demonstrate irregularity/disruption as in meniscal tear.
Dynamic Valgus stress does/does not produce excessive meniscal excursion beyond the
joint border. Tracing the MCL distally along the Tibial cortex does/does not reveal Pes
Anserine Bursa effusion.

Popliteal Fossa SAX and Biceps Femoris Tendon LAX
In SAX there is/is not a fluid collection with the defining anatomic neck as seen with
Bakers Cyst. The Popliteal vein is/is not compressible with sonopalpation to rule in/out
thrombosis. In LAX the Biceps Femoris Tendon attachment at the Fibula does/does not
demonstrate the normal tapering conformity, and well-defined tendon footprint associated
with a stable tendon enthesis. The BF was traced proximally to its muscle-tendon
junction.
