Case Report: Arthroscopic treatment of calcific periarthritis of the knee in the lateral and medial collateral ligaments

This study represents the first documentation of calcifications affecting both the LCL and MCL simultaneously. The progression of MCL calcifications demonstrated the potential for asymptomatic presentation from onset to resolution. In cases where conservative management fails to address symptomatic calcific disease of the LCL, arthroscopic surgery may be warranted.

Abstract

This study represents the first documentation of calcifications affecting both the LCL and MCL simultaneously. The progression of MCL calcifications demonstrated the potential for asymptomatic presentation from onset to resolution. In cases where conservative management fails to address symptomatic calcific disease of the LCL, arthroscopic surgery may be warranted.
