title: [Calcified inclusions in a popliteal cyst as a rare cause of persistent knee pain and recurrent effusions].
abstract: Popliteal cysts may occur with diseases of the knee and may cause several complications. We report about a patient with a popliteal cyst, that contained calcified concrements after a femur fracture and a complex knee injury and that we found to be a rare cause of persisting knee pain and effusions. The etiology of the concrements will be discussed, that we think are more likely to be posttraumatic loose joint bodies than traumatically induced chondromatosis.
