Lateral patellar dislocation with osteochondral injury

Discussion:

Classic appearance of lateral patellar dislocation with associated osteochondral injury and intra-articular bodies. The bone marrow edema pattern is called "kissing contusions" involving the inferomedial portion of the patella and the lateral femoral condyle. Images should be scrutinized for the presence of osteochondral injury as this affects the management. In this case, there is no associated abnormal patellar morphology or trochlear dysplasia.
