Minor synovial thickening of the suprapatellar recess is noted. The infrapatellar joint recess of the stifle joint presents mild effusion & moderate tickening of the synovial lining. A mild amount of periarticular osteophytes is noted. The infrapatellar fat pad reveals moderate heterogeneity and multifocal mineralization. The cranial and caudal cruciate ligament (CCL) presents as an echogenic stump of fibres attached to the intercondylar eminence of the tibia. Mild periligamentous effusion is seen.  The medial and lateral meniscus are in situ with even surface and uniform echogenicity.
