Osteochondritis dissecans

Osteochondritis dissecans

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) a ff ects the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle of the distal femur (but also the talus and the humerus). An osteochondral fragment becomes partially or completely separated from the joint surface. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best method for demonstrating the site, extent and stability of the lesion. In mild cases, the osteochondral fragment remains attached and heals, particularly if treated early with activity modification. If it detaches, partially or completely , mechanical symptoms Robert Bailey Osgood , 1873–1956, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery , Harvard University Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
