RESTREPOª, Juan Pablo  e  MOLINA, María del Pilar. Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome: More than a radiological sign. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.3, pp.210-212. ISSN 0121-8123.

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.
