The authors present a case of calcified posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). A 61-year-old female presented in our department reporting 12 months history of knee pain that was getting worse during the night. The patient was under medication for epileptic seizure, osteoporosis and hyperthyroidism. X-rays demonstrated calcification of the PCL. CT and MRI excluded any other intra-articular and extra-articular pathology. Arthroscopic debridement of the calcium deposits was performed and the symptoms resolved immediately, while the postoperative x-rays were normal. Histological examination confirmed the calcium nature of the lesion. Two years postoperatively the patient remains asymptomatic.
作者报告了一例后交叉韧带（PCL）钙化病例。一名61岁女性到我院就诊，自述膝关节疼痛12个月，夜间疼痛加剧。该患者正在接受癫痫、骨质疏松症和甲状腺功能亢进症的药物治疗。X线显示PCL钙化。CT和MRI排除了任何其他关节内和关节外病变。对钙沉积物进行了关节镜清理，症状立即缓解，术后X线检查正常。组织学检查证实了病变的钙性质。术后两年患者仍无症状。
