The Pellegrini-Stieda sign is a calcification of the medial collateral ligament of the knee after trauma. The presence of symptoms associated with radiological findings is known as Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome. Pain is the main element that characterises the disease. Treatment ranges from rest, physical therapy, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoid injection, and even surgery in severe and recalcitrant cases.
