Sixteen adolescents presented with symptoms referable to the posterior lateral compartment of the knee, specifically the region of the fabella. The salient features of the syndrome include intermittent pain in the posterolateral region, accentuated by knee extension and localized tenderness when the fabella is compressed against the femoral condyle. The condition appears to be unique to late adolescence (15-17 years of age). Five patients responded to conservative measures. Eleven patients required surgery, all of whom obtained immediate relief of symptoms with removal of the ossified fabella, cartilaginous fabella, or thickened gastrocnemius fibers.
16名青少年出现了与膝关节后外侧间室相关的症状，特别是腘豆骨区域。该综合征的显著特征包括后外侧区域间歇性疼痛，膝关节伸展时疼痛加剧，当腘豆骨被压向股骨髁时局部压痛。这种情况似乎在青春期后期（15 - 17岁）较为独特。5名患者对保守治疗有反应。11名患者需要手术，所有患者在切除骨化的腘豆骨、软骨性腘豆骨或增厚的腓肠肌纤维后症状立即缓解。
