A 35-year-old woman presented with worsening anterior knee pain and impaired ambulation shortly after a repeat intra-articular collagen-based injection for presumed chondromalacia patellae. Point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound demonstrated multiple retropatellar hypoechoic cyst-like lesions, which were subsequently confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient declined aspiration and arthroscopic debridement and was managed conservatively. Follow-up ultrasound showed partial regression of the lesions. This case highlights the value of musculoskeletal ultrasound in detecting unusual post-procedural findings, facilitating clinicoradiologic correlation, and guiding clinical decision-making.
