Figure 1 Sequential arthroscopic views of the anteromedial part of the femur above the cartilage with the arthroscope in the anterolateral portal. A: synovial hyperplasia; B: Palpation of the elevated synovial tissue with a probe; C: Removal of the synovial tissue reveals the altered tissue; D and E: After partial removal, the extensiveness of the altered tissue is revealed; F: The remaining crater after complete removal of the lesion.

Figure 2 Sequential arthroscopic views of posterior part of lateral femoral condyle with the arthroscope positioned in the posteromedial portal. A: Trans-septal approach; B: Palpation of the altered tissue with a probe from the posterolateral portal; C: Removal of the altered tissue with a cochlea; D: Visualization of the sclerotic bone after removal of altered tissue; E: Removal of the nidus and surrounding sclerosis with a motorized instrument; F: The remaining crater after complete removal of the lesion.
