osteochondritis/edema

BACKGROUND Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) has a better prognosis than the adult type. OBJECTIVE We postulated that the excellent prognosis of juvenile OCD could be explained, at least in part, by the erroneous diagnosis of some developmental variants of ossification as stage-I

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical and radiological characteristics of osteochondritis dissecans (OD) of the hip and the outcome of this condition after treatment. METHODS Twelve male and 3 female patients with OD were retrospectively studied. Six patients had a history of Legg-Calvé-Perthes

UNASSIGNED Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow has almost exclusively been described in the humeral capitellum, with only a small number of reports describing secondary osteochondral changes in the radial head. UNASSIGNED The authors hypothesized that concomitant radial head lesions (RHLs)

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical properties, histological and immunohistochemical appearance, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of reparative cartilage after autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). METHODS Six

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of MRI criteria for predicting instability of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the elbow in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This retrospective study included 41 children with 43 OCD lesions of the elbow

OBJECTIVE Subchondral bone edema is a common finding after cartilage treatment, but its interpretation is still debated. The aim of this study is to analyse the presence of edema after matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) for knee cartilage lesions at different follow-up

Osteochondritis dissecans lesions occur frequently in children and adolescents. Treatment can be challenging and depends on the status of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Injection of calcium phosphate bone substitute into the area of subchondral bone edema (Subchondroplasty; Knee

OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to correlate specimens of juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the knee to MRI examinations to elucidate the histopathologic basis of characteristic imaging features. METHODS Five children (three boys and two girls; age range, 12-13 years old)

Osteochondritis dissecans is a disorder with a prevalence of 0.01 to 0.06 %. Men between 16 and 36 years of age are most commonly affected by it. In the western hemisphere, the knee is affected by this progressive disorder in 75 % of the cases, specifically the medial femoral condyle (70 - 80 %).

OBJECTIVE Ostheocondritis dissecans lesions of the knee has a poor prognosis if certain signs are present at MRI. Clinical course is dependent on the site and extension of the lesions, and the age of the patient. In children, certain MRI findings similar to those found in the adult have a different

The Bone marrow edema (BME) is a common finding when evaluating patients with knee pain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The typical signal patterns of BME are unspecific and can be found with different diseases of the knee. Since different therapeutic approaches are mandatory, differential

The combination of excessive radiocapitellar compressive forces and the limited vascularity of the capitellum are responsible for the development of osteochondritis dissecans. Repetitive compressive forces are generated by throwing or racket swinging motions or from constant axial compressive loads

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathological process affecting the subchondral bone of the knee in children and adolescents with open growth plates (juvenile OCD) and young adults with closed growth plates (adult OCD). It may lead to secondary effects on joint cartilage, such as pain, edema,

BACKGROUND Surgical treatment is recommended for patients with unstable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow. However, little information is available comparing the anticipated results from the host of techniques. In this investigation, clinical and radiographic resolution as well as return

UNASSIGNED Elbow pain is common in young gymnasts and is frequently encountered by physical therapists working in direct access outpatient clinics. Most elbow pain is benign; however, non-specific symptoms can mask serious medical pathologies, as is the case with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). OCD
