Description:
Ossification of the superior portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee, sometimes occurring as a complication of athletic injuries. Clinically there is swelling, pain, and limitation of motion of the joints with tenderness on pressure over the internal condyle of the femur. Several weeks after the initial swelling, a calcified mass may be palpated in the region of the medial collateral tibial ligament. It occurs at any age.
It is roentgenologically demonstrable besides the tibian side of the condylus femoris: Stieda's shadow or Köhler-Pellegrini shadow.
