Hi Donna,

There's a complete text article in pdf format at the following website.

Aside from that, you'll find, below, a few very brief descriptions from

around the web.

Aloha,

Pellegrini – stieda syndrome

IEDA%20SYNDROME.asp

(Augusto Pellegrini, born 1877, Italian surgeon and Alfred Stieda,

1869–1945, German surgeon), ossification of the medial collateral

ligament of the knee, such as occurs after trauma. On radiographs

arcuate or curvilinear radiodense deposits are seen adjacent to the

medial femoral condyle

DISEASE DE Pellegrini-stieda

* What the disease of Pellegrini-Stieda?

Is this something that a family practitioner must know?

Sometimes, when there is a tear of the collateral ligament interns close

to its insertion on the fémur, a secondary hématome is calcified and

this area remains sensitive and painful. It is the disease of

Pellegrini-Stieda. One notices the zone of calcification to radiography.

Of course, it is absolutely not necessary for a general practitioner to

know this pathology, but as one likes all to launch a name from time to

time interesting once, and than this one is marvellous, I thought of

mentioning it.

Also known as:

Köhler-Pellegrini shadow

Köhler-Stieda-Pellegrini syndrome

Pellegrini's disease

Pellegrini's syndrome

Stieda's fracture

Stieda's lesion

Stieda-Pellegrini disease

Synonyms:

Calcific haematoma of knee syndrome; knee, medial collateral ligament

calcification syndrome; particular knee calcification syndrome

Associated persons:

Alban Köhler

Augusto Pellegrini

Alfred Stieda

Description:

Ossification of the superior portion of the medial collateral ligament

of the knee, sometimes occurring as a complication of athletic injuries.

Clinically there is swelling, pain, and limitation of motion of the

joints with tenderness on pressure over the internal condyle of the

femur. Several weeks after the initial swelling, a calcified mass may be

palpated in the region of the medial collateral tibial ligament. It

occurs at any age.

It is roentgenologically demonstrable besides the tibian side of the

condylus femoris: Stieda's shadow or Köhler-Pellegrini shadow.
