A member asked:
Can a 3wk old patella sleeve fracture (x-ray) that wasn't treated yet look like a calcification on mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: a bony fragment can be avulsed off the inferior patella, and also reparative calcification is present as the injury attempts to heal. The injury should be obvious on MRI if it is relatively acute. If calcification is the only finding, it is unlikely to be a recent fracture.
