We report on a 12 years old female patient who had been diagnosed with patellofemoral instability – recurrent dislocation and anterior knee pain. Radiologic evaluation further revealed osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the lateral femoral trochlea. She underwent surgical procedure with isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, no surgical procedure was done to the OCD lesion. Postoperatively, there was clinical improvement of patellofemoral instability, with radiological evidence of healing of the OCD lesion. Isolated realignment procedures such as medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction may be associated with spontaneous healing of osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral trochlea.

We report on a 19-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a complete suprapatellar plica syndrome. She underwent arthroscopic excision of the plica. Postoperatively, there was complete resolution of the symptoms, with return to sports activity. A complete suprapatellar plica is a rare condition that separates the suprapatellar pouch from the rest of the knee. Cases of symptomatic complete suprapatellar plica should be managed with conservative measures initially. If conservative therapy fails, surgical arthroscopic excision is required.
