چکیده

We present our arthroscopic technique for fixation of an unstable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion. This technique includes arthroscopic evaluation of cartilage and bone quality of the OCD fragment, hinging open the lesion, debridement of fibrous nonunion tissue, reducing the fragment, and obtaining multi-point compression screw fixation. This technique avoids the morbidity of an open arthrotomy and should be considered when treating an unstable OCD lesion with adequate bone for fixation.

Internal fixation of undisplaced lesions of osteochondritis dissecans in the knee.

A total of 11 patients (12 knees) with stable lesions of osteochondritis dissecans of the knee underwent arthroscopic fixation of the fragments using polylactide bioabsorbable pins. The site of the lesion was the medial femoral condyle in ten knees and the lateral femoral condyle in two. The mean age of the patients was 14.8 years (12 to 16). At a mean follow-up of 32.4 months (13 to 38 months)...

Functional and radiographic outcomes of unstable juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the knee treated with lesion fixation using bioabsorbable pins.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcome of fixation of unstable juvenile osteochondritis dissecans lesions of the knee after a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. METHODS A total of 33 unstable juvenile osteochondritis dissecans lesions in 30 patients underwent fixation using bioabsorbable pins through arthrotomy or under arthroscopy. The pati...
