Abstract
Calcium apatite deposition disease (CADD) is a common entity characterized by deposition of calcium apatite crystals within and around connective tissues, usually in a periarticular location1. Many different locations of CADD have been described amongst which, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee is a rare location2. The first ever case of calcific deposits in the lateral collateral ligament of the knee was reported by Anderson et al3 in 2003. A few isolated case reports of LCL calcification are published in the literature 4,5 but arthroscopic excision of calcific deposit in LCL has not been described yet in the literature. Here we are describing 2 cases of arthroscopic excision of calcific deposits in LCL of the knee by a new portal called #x2018;Direct lateral portal' for the knee.
