Knee MRI 24F after recent patellar dislocation, Please Help

This is a 24F after reported recent patellar dislocation; prescription requested "measure TT-TG"There are no bone contusions, no chondral defect, no MPFL injury that I can see.
TT-TG is in the increased / top normal reported range.

What is all this lateral parosteal ST swelling / edema-like signal?

There is patella alta and a shallow trochlea…so there is predisposition to patellar maltracking…but I don’t see the typical contusions and the MPFL seems uninjured.
I thought this is non specific parosteal fat edema….maybe related to recent dislocation / relocation….but I’m wondering if it might be something else?
What do you think?
