Pellegrini–Stieda syndrome

Pellegrine–Stieda syndrome (also called Stieda disease and Köhler–Pellegrine–Stieda disease) refers to the ossification of the superior part of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. It is a common incidental finding on knee radiographs. It is named for the Italian surgeon A. Pellegrini (b. 1877) and the German surgeon A. Stieda (1869–1945).[1]
