متن کاملOsteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum: current concepts.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is an uncommon disorder seen primarily in the adolescent overhead athlete. Unlike Panner disease, a self-limiting condition of the immature capitellum, OCD is multifactorial and likely results from microtrauma in the setting of cartilage mismatch and vascular susceptibility. The natural history of OCD is poorly understood, and degenerative joint...
متن کاملHistological evaluation of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral capitellum
Background The clinical use of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) was recently evaluated in cases of osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral capitellum (elbow OCD).
