Abstract

The most common site for osteochondritis dissecans of the knee is the medial femoral condyle. Seldom reported localizations are the lateral tibial condyle and the inferior patellar pole.
Osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle of the patellofemoral joint appears to be extremely rare, and we report three new cases.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle of patellofemoral joint.
These three patients were all athletes.
