On occasion, pain and calcification of the medial collateral ligament is reported in symptomatic knee patients. This can be a treatable condition.

Calcification of medial collateral ligament of the knee: an uncommon cause of medial knee pain.
Chang WC, Huang GS, Lee CH, Kao HW, Chen CY.
Post-traumatic occurance is usual and called the Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome. You can do nothing, inject with steroid, extracorporal shockwave therapy, or surgically remove. I saw one recently and injected with 40 mg Kenalog. Is better.
Anyone have an interesting case?
I was involved in a severe car accident back in 92. In the accident I broke my pelvis. I started experiencing severe pain that makes walking very difficult and painful. I was referred to an orthopedic doctor who only wanted to inject me with cortison shots. I was then referred to physical therapy. There I was told I suffer from medial collateral by calcification. I have no idea what this means or if there is a cure for this? Please respond to this e-mail a.s.a.p. and also with as much information you could give me on the subject.
