Clinics in diagnostic imaging (144). Lateral meniscal ossicle.

A 35-year-old female patient with previous left knee anterior cruciate ligament repair for a skiing injury presented six years later with a traumatic lateral patellar subluxation. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging of her left knee joint showed an ossific structure in the region of the lateral meniscus. This was diagnosed as a meniscal ossicle and confirmed during successful arthroscopic excision.
