title: [A young, obese woman with a painful knee].
abstract: A 23-year-old morbidly obese woman (BMI: 62,5 kg/m2) came to the ER because of a painful right knee. When walking the knee had collapsed spontaneously. Physical examination of the right leg was not possible due to pain. Examination of the unaffected left leg revealed multi-directional instability. A radiograph showed anterior luxation of the tibia.
