Q. A middle aged man presented four weeks after twisting knee injury without bony frcture but medial aspect pain and below radiograph. Which of these radiographic finding is noted here?
1. Corner fracture
2. Early Myositis ossificans
3. Pallegrini- Steida lesion
4. Osteochondral fracture
Answer - 3
The radiograph depicts a small area of calcification at medial aspect of femur, probably as a result of injury to MCL (Medial collateral ligament) initially that after some time shows areas of calcification suggesting old injury and also termed Pallegrini-Steida lesion.
Corner fracture is ruled out as it is related to child abuse and thus found in childrens, however at the same loction.
Osteochondral fracture is ruled out as the fracture site is away from joint/ cartilage area.
Early myositis ossificans may be close contender but unlikely at this location.
