Heterotopic Mineralization of the Medial Collateral Ligament: Our Experience Treating Two Cases of Calcific Versus Ossific Lesions With Ultrasonic Vacuum Debridement.
Curēus 2023 March
Chronic injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is common following an acute knee injury. This case report presents two patients that failed to respond to conservative treatment with clinical evidence of an MCL injury and radiographic finding of a benign-appearing soft tissue lesion in the MCL. Calcified or ossified lesions have been described with chronic MCL injuries. Ossification and calcification of the MCL have been observed as potential causes of chronic MCL pain. Here, we detail the distinction between these two distinct intra-ligamentous heterotopic deposits and describe a novel treatment approach using ultrasonic percutaneous debridement, a technique that is typically reserved for tendinopathies. In both cases, pain improved, and they were able to return to their prior level of function.
