Abstract
Two 20-year-old male patients presented together to a multidisciplinary primary care sports medicine clinic with reports of focal swelling and pain at the left anterior knee just distal to the patella. Both patients enlisted together, chose the same occupational specialty, and trained together, resulting in similar exposure to training loads. Following examination, radiographic imaging was ordered for both patients. Radiographs of both patients revealed exostosis and fragmentation, with multiple ossicles of the tibial tubercle.
