INTRODUCTION Osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle is relatively rare, and it is reported to often be combined with a discoid lateral meniscus. Given the potential for healing, conservative management is indicated for stable osteochondritis dissecans in patients who are skeletally immature. However, patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle combin...

introduction osteochondritis is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint destroys due to lack of blood flow. then bone and cartilage can break, causing pain and sometimes affecting joint motion and skin around the involved joint might be swollen and tender. osteochondritis occurs most commonly in the knee, but also occurs in elbows, ankles and other joints. decreased ...

BACKGROUND Osteochondritis dissecans are typically located mainly on the femoral condyle, with reported but less common cases of patella involvement. In this case report, we reported a rare case of osteochondritis dissecans located on the medial tibial plateau. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old Han Chinese woman presented with a lesion on her left medial tibial plateau. She was treated by arthr...

Although osteochondritis dissecans of the knee has been known for a long time, we still do not fully understand why it develops. This prompted us to present and describe an example of osteochondritis dissecans identified in the Osteological Collection of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The case of osteochondritis dissecans described in this report was recovered from the Gluvine kuće ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to describe the MR imaging features of osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral sulcus, which have not been described previously. CONCLUSION Osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral sulcus has been recognized as a unique clinical and radiographic entity, warranting early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Although this type of osteochondritis dissec...

Osteochondritis dissecans refers to a focal area of subchondral bone that undergoes necrosis with or without detachment due to lack of vascularity. Osteochondritis dissecans is most common cause of loose bodies in knee joint and the symptoms vary from continuous dull aching pain to locking of the joint. We present a case of Osteochondritis dissecans of knee in a female adult patient. She underw...

Osteochondral lesions most commonly occur about the knee but may affect any articular surface of the pediatric appendicular skeleton. Osteochondral lesions include osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondral fractures, and osteochondral abnormalities associated with secondary processes such as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. These abnormalities should not be confused with normal subchondral irregulari...

Osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow primarily involves the capitellum. We report a rare case of osteochondritis dissecans involving the humeral trochlea in a 19-year-old male with a post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity. Biomechanics suggested that the varus malalignment caused repetitive axial force across the medial elbow, which led to microtrauma to the trochlea during the patient's dail...

Osteochondritis dissecans is a rare cause of painful knees in children. Only 10 cases of lateral tibial condyle involvement have been reported in the literature. Congenital agenesis of both cruciate ligaments has been described even less, and its prevalence is unknown. The authors report an atypical association of osteochondritis dissecans of the tibia with congenital absence of both cruciate l...

BACKGROUND The optimal treatment option for osteochondritis dissecans of the knee is still controversial. We report the case of a boy who developed osteochondritis dissecans in the lateral femoral condyles of his bilateral knees requiring repeat surgical procedures. There has been no literature reporting juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of bilateral knees requiring repeat surgical procedures....
