Abstract

Two patients with an ossicle of the meniscus are described. Radiologic differentiation from osteochondral loose body or chondrocalcinosis can be made by its ossified appearance and its location within the meniscus. Correct diagnosis is important so that unnecessary surgery is avoided and a protracted search for a free fragment is not carried out.
