Abstract
Knee problems are frequently seen in young athletes. It is important for the examining physician to be mindful of the complex differential diagnosis of knee pain in the adolescent, and not presume a traumatic origin of this pain. A case of osteoid osteoma of the distal medial condylar epiphysis of the femurin a 15-year-old athletic male, who presented limitation of extension of the knee and medial joint pain and swelling, which could easily be misinterpreted as internal derangement, is discussed as an example of this problem.
