She feels like her knee is going to give out. History: One year prior she had presented to her physician's office with right knee swelling. At that time an MRI was performed and showed osteochondritis desiccans to the medial femoral condyle with a possible undisplaced loose bony fragment.

She was placed non-weight bearing for 6 weeks followed by a physical therapy program, which she successfully completed. She resumed playing basketball at that time and was pain free until this visit.
