Significant edema / inflammation between patellar tendon and lateral femoral condyle in superolateral aspects of Hoffa’s fat pad.
Subtle edema is seen in inferior aspects of articular cartilage along lateral facet of patella.
Patella appears to be mildly high riding (mild patella alta).
Mild joint effusion is seen, extending to suprapatellar recess.
