Case ReportsIntra-articular Chondral Fragment After Acute Patellar Dislocation.
An 18-year-old military cadet presented to a direct-access physical therapy clinic 3 days after sustaining a lateral patellar dislocation that self-reduced with extension of the knee. Suspecting a loose body, the physical therapist ordered radiographs, which did not demonstrate any associated fractures. ⋯ Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a full-thickness defect in the patellar cartilage at the medial facet, with a loose fragment in the suprapatellar pouch.

Case ReportsPlexiform Neurofibromatosis in a Woman With a Pubic Ramus Stress Fracture.
A 22-year-old woman in Army Basic Combat Training was evaluated in a physical therapy clinic for insidious-onset groin pain. The referring primary care physician assistant ordered initial radiographs, which were noncontributory, followed by a bone scan that indicated a left inferior pubic ramus stress fracture. ⋯ Due to the palpable mass and severe pain upon return, the physical therapist ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which showed plexiform neurofibromas, with a left buttock mass and left inferior pubic ramus stress fracture.
