Abstract
Calcification or ossification in the tibial collateral ligament is a relatively frequent clinical entity the significance of which has heretofore been unrecognized or ignored. Pellegrini-Stieda's lesion constitutes the major part of the material in this paper. Kulowski1recently reported the first case in the English literature, although about 150 cases had been recorded previously in European publications. Köhler described the condition in 1903, but Pellegrini in 1905 and Stieda in 1907 were the first to study and report its clinical significance. Petrignani2reviewed the literature in 1931 and added several of his own cases. I am reporting observations made in a series of forty-two roentgenologically proved cases of either calcification or ossification of the tibial collateral ligament. I will suggest a classification of various types of this lesion and present a theory of its etiology and pathologic manifestations. Most of my material was collected from the files ofKeywords
