Abstract
The Pellegrini-Stieda sign is a radiological sign that represents proximal calcification of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. Occurs after direct or indirect trauma to the knee. The associated symptoms of pain and limitation of the functional range is what is known as Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome. Radiologically diagnosed, it is a recognizable condition in our primary care services. For this reason, and thus being able to carry out better treatment and guidance in referral to a specialist, the case is presented for review.
