Abstract
A 12-year-old boy had a history of pain in the right knee for 2 months, mainly pain in extension. He could not recall any trauma to the knee. The radiograph suggested osteochondritis dissecans in the anterior spine. An arthroscopy was performed and a prominence in the tibial insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament in the anterointernal area was observed, and the fragment resected. The diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans was confirmed by pathological study. As far as we are aware, this is the first case describing this new location.
