History: 
Radiographic/Scintigraphic Findings: Evidence of an osteochondral fragment associated with the tibial tuberosity along with intracapsular swelling is noted. This is located in the region of attachment of the cranial cruciate ligament and concurrent trauma to the cruciate ligament could be considered. In addition, there is decreased density involving the remainder of the proximal tibial tuberosity with a rim of sclerosis. This is consistent with osteomalacia. This appearance is also suggestive of concurrent osteomyelitis. The intense focal scintigraphic uptake along the entire tibial plateau supports the possibility of osteomalacia of the proximal tibia.
