- Mucoid ACL degeneration (MDACL) is a common incidental MRI finding where the ACL appears thickened and ill-defined with mucinous material separating its longitudinal fibers. It is often associated with ACL ganglions and subchondral bone cysts. - While the correlation between MDACL, ganglions, and bone cysts is still poorly understood, it seems to represent progressive structural ACL degeneration. MDACL may be related to early osteoarthritis and synovial inflammation exacerbated by repetitive knee trauma. - Patients typically present with medial or posterior knee pain out of proportion to physical findings, and MRIs show the characteristic MDACL appearance along with secondary osteoarthritic changes.
