Thin linear bone fragment paralleling the medial femoral condyle.
No joint effusion.
No soft tissue calcification.
Case Discussion
The appearances are classical of a Pellegrini-Stieda lesion. The ossified fragment is adjacent to the margin of the medial femoral condyle at the site of the medial collateral ligament and is thought to be due to an avulsion injury.
Unable to process the form. Check for errors and try again.
