Abstract
A case of meniscal ossicles occurring in the left knee of a 23-year-old wom an is presented. Radiographs showed two calcified lesions at the posteromed ial aspect of the knee which were interpreted as loose bodies. Sonography, computed tomography arthrography and magnetic resonance imaging Showed the fragments within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus permitting a dia gnosis of meniscal ossicles. These techniques can detect meniscal ossicles and exclude intra-articular loose bodies.
