Pellegrini-stieda lesion.
Why to jump directly to surgeries and injection. @Vinay Verma sharmahe is right. Lets first treat this conservatively . Then we can add strengthening of knee muscles spl. VMO .
If there is localised tenderness over the osteochondroma like growth from med. femoral condyle and CRP is within normal limit, excision and biopsy may be the choice.
