Bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the medial trochlea femoris: an unusual case of patellofemoral pain

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 1993;1(3-4):187-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01560203.

Abstract

We report a case of bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the medial trochlea femoris. Arthroscopic removement of loose bodies in the symptomatic left knee led to an excellent result; the untreated right knee showed effusion and locking one year later. This condition should be considered in the diagnosis of patellofemoral pain.
