title: Stress fractures of the medial femoral condyle.
abstract: Three military recruits who presented with medial joint line pain and positive Appley grinding tests were found on the basis of scintigrams plus arthroscopy and/or arthrogram to have no intra-articular pathology, but rather medial femoral condyle stress fractures. The importance of the differential diagnosis is emphasized.
