Description
Summary:University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY Background: A 12 year-old male middle school football athlete with no past medical history of knee injuries, was tackled by two teammates during football practice on 8/16/11, forcing his right tibia into internal rotation. Same day MRI revealed medial femoral condyle bone bruise with low-grade sprain of medial collateral ligament, partial thickness tear of popliteus tendon and popliteus sprain at myotendinous junction, and a lowgrade sprain of lateral collateral ligament. [...]the athlete had an insidious but stable osteochondritis dissecans the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle, with overlying cartilage intact that was unrelated to the injury.
