A 16-year-old boy had a history of pain in the left knee for 6 months. On examination, mild tenderness was elicited over the left patella. A clinical diagnosis of chondromalacia patellae was made. Results of roentgenograms of both knees and diagnostic arthroscopy were normal. Three-phase bone imaging suggested osteochondritis dissecans of the patella, and the diagnosis was confirmed by MRI. These interesting images highlight the role of three-phase bone scintigraphy in early diagnosis, especially when routine roentgenograms and arthroscopic evaluations fail to delineate the problem.
