This is an osteochondral fragment in the knee joint. We call it a loose body or a joint mouse. It keeps running around the joint and that hurts the cartilage. It also locks the joint occasionally. So it has to be removed. This one was stuck at the lateral side of the joint and was easily taken out.
Nice to see them having gone through different ways.
Welcome to my website.

I do general orthopedics and it’s always challenging ,exciting.
