Case 4a. Another medial femoral condyle lesion

From Jim Choi, University of Wisconsin (ie. the other "UW" )

I would like to contribute this case to supplement the case that is already on the website (Case 4: MFC lesion). The case I am submitting shows a nice full-thickness cartilage tear (arrows) of the posterior lateral femoral condyle, similar in location as the Eva's MFC lesions.  My case corroborates her hypothesis of cartilage damage causing the marrow edema.  My study is an intra-articular gad study done on a 60 year old female with suspected meniscal re-tear.
