A. Kornberg et al., Chronic persistent knee pain after repeated diagnostic arthroscopy: osteoid osteoma, a primarily overlooked diagnosis in a young woman, ARCH ORTHOP, 121(5), 2001, pp. 291-293
We report a case of osteoid osteoma of the distal femur in an adolescent fe
male patient that was primarily overlooked and led to repeated diagnostic a
rthroscopy of the knee. A thorough history and physical examination of the
joint as well as adequate roentgenographic studies could have spared this p
atient two unnecessary arthroscopies and indicated the correct therapy.
