RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Previous research on patellar and trochlear groove osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is limited by small sample sizes. This study aims to describe the presentation of patients with OCD lesions of the patella and trochlea and characterize the outcomes of operative and nonoperative treatments. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study identified all patients from a single institution from 2008 to 2021 with patellar and/or trochlear OCD lesions. Patients were excluded from the study if surgical records were unavailable or if the patient had knee surgery for a different injury at index surgery or in the 12 months postoperative. Minimum follow-up was 12 months. Outcomes included a return to sports (RTS), pain resolution, radiographic healing, and treatment "success" (defined as full RTS, complete pain resolution, and full healing on imaging). RESULTS: A total of 68 patients (75 knees) were included-45 (60%) with patellar OCD and 30 (40%) with trochlear. Of the patients, 69% were males. The median age at knee OCD diagnosis was 14 years. At the final follow-up, 62% of knees (n = 44) recovered sufficiently to allow a full RTS and 54% of knees (n = 39) had full pain resolution. Of the 46 knees with radiographic imaging at least 1 year apart, 63% had full healing of the lesion. There was no significant difference in RTS, pain resolution, radiographic healing, or overall success when comparing treatments. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides valuable epidemiologic demographic and outcome data regarding the scarcely reported patellar and trochlear OCD. While over half of patients fully returned to sports and reported full pain resolution, a large proportion continued to experience symptoms over a year after presentation. Future research should aim to better define the treatment algorithms for these OCD subtypes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

RESUMO

Osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is a localized cartilage and subchondral bone injury of the talus trochlea. OLT is caused by trauma and other reasons, including osteochondritis dissecans of the talus (OCD) and talus osteochondral tangential fracture. OLT can develop from being asymptomatic to subchondral bone cysts accompanied by deep ankle pain. OLT tends to occur on the medial and lateral sides of the talar vault. OLT seriously affects the patients' life and work and may even lead to disability. Herein, we reviewed advances in the treatment of OLT and the strengths and weaknesses of various treatments. Different treatment methods, including conservative treatments and surgical treatments, can be adopted according to the different subtypes or clinical symptoms of OLT. Conservative treatments mostly relieve symptoms in the short term and only slow down the disease. In recent years, it has been discovered that platelet-rich plasma injection, microfracture, periosteal bone grafting, talar cartilage transplantation, allograft bone transplantation, reverse drilling under robotic navigation, and other methods can achieve considerable benefits when each of these treatment methods is applied. Furthermore, microfracture combined with platelet-rich plasma injections, microfracture combined with cartilage transplantation, and various other treatment methods combined with anterior talofibular ligament repair have all led to good treatment outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of skeletal age and lesion size, location, and grade on the success of nonoperative treatment for juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). It is hypothesized that skeletal maturity, including a combination of maturation phenotypes, correlates with nonoperative lesion healing. METHODS: The clinical and radiographic data on 52 patients aged 7-20 years treated for OCD of the distal femur between 2010 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Knee radiographs were assessed for number of lesions present and lesion location, size, and stage. Assessments of skeletal maturation were performed on all antero-posterior knee radiographs using the Roche, Wainer, and Thissen (RWT) method. Patients were categorized as healed if they demonstrated no pain on clinical examination. The relationship between skeletal maturity and nonoperative lesion healing was determined using Spearman rank correlations on available variables. RESULTS: Neither chronological nor skeletal age was associated with surgical status (Rho = 0.03, n.s., and Rho = 0.13, n.s., respectively) or the healing status of nonoperatively treated OCD lesions (Rho = 0.44, n.s., and Rho = 0.03, n.s., respectively). Epiphyseal fusion status of the distal femoral physis was moderately correlated with nonoperative healing, but was not statistically significant (lateral femoral physis: Rho = 0.43, p = 0.05; medial femoral physis: Rho = 0.43, n.s.). Lesion length correlated with surgical status (Rho = - 0.38, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION: The extent of fusion of the distal femoral physis (multi-stage grading) may be more strongly correlated with nonoperative healing than other markers of skeletal maturity or chronological age. Clinicians can use this as an additional radiographic sign when considering nonoperative treatment for juvenile OCD lesions in the distal femur. OCD lesion length and physeal fusion status appear to be more important for healing than patient age.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: To report on the long-term prognosis of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) patients regarding radiological and patient-reported outcomes and to analyze possible risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients diagnosed with knee OCD between 2004 and 2014 with radiographic Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grades 0-2 at the time of diagnoses, ability to understand the language of the interview, and willingness to participate in the study were retrospectively reviewed. Current knee radiographs and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire were prospectively collected between May 2020 and March 2021. The extent of osteoarthritis (OA) and KOOS questionnaire results were evaluated. RESULTS: 90 patients (103 knees) with a mean age of 21 years (range 6-60) were included. The mean follow-up time was 12 years (range 7-20). 24 knees (23%) were treated conservatively, and 79 knees (77%) operatively. At the time of diagnoses, 90% of the patients had K-L grades of 0-1; during the follow-up period, 45% of the patients showed radiological progression of OA. Patient body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.004; 95% CI 0.25-0.29), age (p = 0.003; 95% CI 0.18-0.30), operative treatment (p = 0.0075; 95% CI 0.41-0.65) and lesion depth (p = 0.0007) were statistically significantly connected to K-L grade change. Patients with no progression in joint space narrowing had statistically significantly better overall KOOS scores (p = 0.03; 95% CI 0.77-0.88) than patients whose K-L grades worsened. CONCLUSIONS: During the long-term follow-up of 12 years, patients with knee OCD had good clinical results. Lac of radiological progression of cartilage degeneration was noted in 55% of the patients, regardless of treatment method. Lesion depth, higher BMI and older age were associated with the progression of OA. The progression of OA was related to a worsening of functional scores. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the healing response of juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) of the talus after conservative treatment, identify healing predictors, and develop a predictive model for healing. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Clinics at a tertiary-level pediatric medical center. PATIENTS: Fifty-five patients (55 ankles) who presented with JOCD. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were managed with cast immobilization followed by activity restriction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measure of progressive lesion reossification was determined from the latest radiograph, after at least 6 months of nonoperative treatment. Final clinical evaluation was performed by a questionnaire and complementary telephone interview. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the influence of age, sex, lesion size, classification, location, duration of symptoms, containment lesion, and the occurrence of cyst-like lesions on healing potential. RESULTS: After nonoperative treatment, 18 (33%) of 55 lesions had failed to progress toward healing. An older age (P = 0.034) and a completely detached but undisplaced (grade III) lesion (P < 0.001) at the time of diagnosis were predictive for the failure of conservative treatment. A multivariate logistic regression best predictor model that included age and grade resulted in the best predicted healing and yielded an area under the curve of 0.920 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In two-thirds of skeletally immature patients, conservative treatment resulted in the progressive healing of JOCD of the talus. For older patients with grade III lesions showing a lower healing probability, surgical treatment should be considered.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Stable lesions of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum have been treated with activity restriction (AR), and the complete healing requires 1 or 2 years. Little is known about the effectiveness of elbow immobilization. We hypothesized that elbow immobilization would have positive effects on healing of stable OCD. METHODS: The study subjects were 43 patients (mean age: 12.2 years) with 43 stable OCD lesions of the prematured elbow (mean skeletal age score: 17.1 points of 0-27 points system). The subjects were divided into 3 groups: group A, AR without elbow immobilization, 22 cases; group B, splint (mean: 8.8 weeks) followed by AR, 9 cases; and group C, cast (mean: 3.7 weeks) followed by splint (mean: 7.3 weeks) and AR, 12 cases. The mean nonoperative observation period was 17.5 months (minimum three months). On anteroposterior radiographs of the elbow at 45 degrees of flexion, 5 observers independently assessed the healing of the capitellum, and the interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities were examined. The differences in outcomes among 3 groups were also examined. RESULTS: The interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities of the radiographic assessment were almost perfect (Cohen kappa value: 0.82 and 0.91, respectively). There were no significant differences in age, sports played, or stage of the lesion before the treatment. The proportion of patients returning to sports and the mean period required were 77% and 8.2 months in group A, 78% and 5.7 months in group B, and 83% and 4.4 months in group C, respectively. The proportion of patients showing ossification in the central aspect of the capitellum and the mean period required were 67% and 8.2 months in group A, 63% and 4.9 months in group B, and 91% and 1.9 months in group C, respectively. The proportion of patients showing complete healing and the mean period required were 41% and 16.4 months in group A, 67% and 7.0 months in group B, and 92% and 5.5 months in group C, respectively. Compared to group A, group C showed a significantly earlier return to sports (P = .034), a significantly shorter period required for ossification (P < .001), and significantly higher proportion of patients with complete healing (P = .012) within a significantly shorter period (P = .009). CONCLUSION: Elbow immobilization had positive effects on healing and enabled both an early return to sports and complete healing. Cast immobilization is recommended as a first choice of nonoperative treatment for stable OCD lesions of the elbow before epiphyseal closure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the healing outcomes of conservative treatment for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the lateral femoral condyle with normal lateral meniscus and incomplete discoid lateral meniscus (DLM). METHODS: Forty-four knees in 37 juvenile patients (mean age 9.9 y) with stable OCD and whose lateral meniscus shape was normal or incomplete DLM were enrolled. All patients underwent conservative treatment with physical activities prohibited. For each lateral meniscus group, patient demographics including pretreatment Tegner activity scale, OCD stage, and Lysholm score, radiographic healing status; complete or incomplete healing at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year, time to complete healing and post-treatment clinical scores were evaluated. RESULTS: There were 21 (47.8%) and 23 (52.3%) knees with normal menisci and incomplete DLM, respectively. At 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after conservative treatment, healed OCD status was noted in 3 (14.3%), 12 (57.1%), and 19 (90.5%) knees of the normal type and in 3 (13.0%), 12 (52.2%), and 20 (86.9%) knees of the incomplete DLM type, respectively (P>0.05). The mean time to healing in each group was 198 and 181 days, respectively. No significant differences in terms of OCD healing rate at each time, time to healing, and post-treatment clinical scores were found between the groups. CONCLUSION: No significant differences in the OCD healing rate or time to healing were found between the normal and incomplete DLM type. Therefore, treatment strategy for OCD with stable and asymptomatic incomplete DLM should be the same as that for those occurring with a normal meniscus.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to update the reader on the controversial subject of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) with a focus on nonoperative treatment indications, methods, and success rate. RECENT FINDINGS: Work by an international multicenter study group ROCK (Research in OsteoChondritis of the Knee) will be reviewed including new classifications systems of healing, arthroscopy, radiographs, and MRI, along with new evidence on off-loading bracing compared to restricted weight bearing. SUMMARY: The paucity of evidence behind OCD treatment of the knee can lead to confusion for doctors, patients, and parents. The present review will bring more clarity to the subject.

RESUMO

Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the knee typically occurs in young athletes, and usually localizes on the medial femoral condyle. Bilateral localization is uncommon. Patellofemoral involvement is rare, mainly found in basketball and soccer players, and never related to patellofemoral congenital problems such as trochlear dysplasia. We report here the first case, to our knowledge, of bilateral juvenile osteochondritis dissecans with patellar localization in a young skier with patellofemoral maltracking and trochlear dysplasia.

RESUMO

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a focal lesion of the subchondral bone that can result in fragmentation, instability, and if untreated, loose body formation with progression to early degenerative changes. Particularly in adolescent male athletes, OCD of the knee is a common source of pain, effusion, and mechanical symptoms with sporting activities. Conservative treatment of athletes with OCD of the knee can entail several months of activity modification and non-weight-bearing restrictions, with varying degrees of healing and return to activity. For unstable OCD lesions not amenable to conservative treatment, previous studies have shown excellent outcomes in patients undergoing osteochondral fixation, with hardware placement and technique being critical determinants of patient outcomes. This infographic reviews the presentation and description of different types of OCD lesions, prognostic factors, surgical indications, and considerations for determining the optimal treatment algorithm. With unstable lesions showing either a "locked door" or "trapdoor" at the time of arthroscopy, subchondral bone preparation and arthroscopic-assisted or open fixation with dual-pitch metal or bio-composite screws can be successful in 67% to 100% of cases. Nonviable or chronically displaced lesions may undergo abrasion chondroplasty, marrow stimulation, or preferably, secondary cartilage restoration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is a rare but potentially debilitating condition. We sought to determine the healing potential of stable capitellar OCD treated nonoperatively, as well as factors predictive of successful nonoperative management. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of patients younger than 19 years who presented with stable OCD of the capitellum and were treated nonoperatively for a minimum of 2 months. The average clinical and radiographic follow-up period was 12.1 months (range, 3.1-63.7 months). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to determine independent predictors of healing. RESULTS: The study included 89 patients (93 elbows), including 49 male patients (55%); the mean age was 12.7 years (range, 8.9-18.6 years). Of the 93 elbows, 50 (53.8%) had successfully healed at a mean of 8.3 months. The symptom duration was significantly shorter in the healing group than the nonhealing group (5.3 ± 4.4 months vs 8.8 ± 9.0 months, P = .02). There were no significant differences in age, physeal status, sex, hand dominance, or sport. Hefti stage I lesions had a higher rate of healing (64.3%) than stage II (31.4%, P = .004), as did OCDs without cyst-like lesions (CLLs, 62.0%) compared with those with CLLs (20.8%, P = .001). The normalized lesion area was significantly larger in the nonhealing group (26.9% vs 18.6%, P < .001). A smaller normalized area and the absence of CLLs were independent predictors of healing. CONCLUSIONS: Over half of stable capitellar OCD lesions have the potential to heal with activity restriction. Smaller lesions without CLLs are more likely to heal with nonoperative treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sports injuries are common in pediatric and adolescent patients and the evaluation and treatment of these injuries continues to evolve. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive appraisal of the most recent literature, highlighting updates on sports-related upper extremity injuries in pediatric patients. METHODS: An electronic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases was performed for keywords related to pediatric overhead athletes, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum, medial epicondyle fractures, shoulder instability, and clavicle fractures. Search results were filtered by publication date to yield articles published electronically or in print on or after January 1, 2013 to May 30, 2017. Papers were selected based on expert opinion and consensus by the authors and included if deemed to have contributed important findings to the above topics. RESULTS: A total of 51 articles were deemed to have contributed significant findings to the literature: 11 overhead athlete, 9 OCD of the capitellum, 6 medial epicondyle fractures, 17 shoulder instability, and 8 clavicle fractures. The level of evidence for most studies was either Level III or IV. CONCLUSIONS: Overuse and traumatic conditions of the pediatric elbow including UCL tear, capitellar OCD, and medial epicondyle fractures represent a significant portion of injuries in the overhead athlete. Research in the prevention and treatment of primary and recurrent shoulder instability in young athletes continues to evolve. The operative treatment of clavicle fractures in adolescents has been increasing without a commensurate increase in the level of evidence supporting such treatment. Advances have been made in the treatment of sports-related upper extremity injuries in pediatric patients, however, high-level, comparative outcomes research in many areas is lacking and this review may help inform topics for future study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV-Literature review.

RESUMO

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum is a critical elbow injury in adolescent overhead throwing athletes. However, its etiology remains unknown. Medical examinations using ultrasonography found that the prevalence of capitellar OCD among adolescent baseball players was approximately from 1% to 3%. A plain anteroposterior radiograph with the elbow in 45° of flexion is essential for the diagnosis of an OCD lesion. The stability of OCD lesions is evaluated on plain radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging features of the unstable lesions are an epiphyseal closure of the capitellum or a lateral epicondyle, a displaced fragment, or irregular contours of the articular surface and a high signal interface on T2-weighted MRI. A stable lesion has the potential to be healed with conservative treatment. By contrast, surgical treatment should be considered if there is no radiographic improvement within 3 months. In addition, surgery should be performed for the lesions that cause pain during daily activities, have a locking phenomenon, or which are assessed by imaging as obviously unstable. Arthroscopic debridement/loose body removal can be performed for small lesions (≤12 mm in diameter). For large lesions (>12 mm), preservation and/or reconstruction of the articular surface should be selected, such as bone-peg fixation of the lateral part of the fragment and osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT) from the knee. In the future directions, there is no comparative study of OAT from the knee and rib. In addition, little is known about its long-term outcome, or resulting osteoarthritis. A recent meta-analysis showed that grafts harvested from the knee may lead to donor site morbidity (7.8%). Thus, a novel cartilage tissue engineering approach is anticipated.

RESUMO

Two related female snow leopards ( Panthera uncia) were diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle via radiographs and computed tomography. Lesions were either bilateral (Patient 1) or unilateral (Patient 2). Surgical treatment was performed using an osteochondral autograft transfer system following cartilage flap removal. After a 6-wk recovery period, both animals had a markedly improved gait with mild pelvic limb stiffness. Patient 1 developed intermittent lameness 9 mo postsurgery and Patient 2 had mild lameness 3 yr postsurgery. Because of recurrent lameness, both animals were treated with platelet-rich plasma intra-articular injections and oral gabapentin (Patient 1) or oral meloxicam (Patient 2). Full incorporation of autografts was confirmed with computed tomography (both patients) and arthroscopy (Patient 1 only). Osteochondritis dissecans has been previously reported in snow leopards and these cases represent the first reported use of osteochondral autograft repair and platelet-rich plasma to treat the condition.

RESUMO

Growing children are susceptible to a number of disorders to their lower extremities of varying degrees of severity. The diagnosis and management of these conditions can be challenging. With musculoskeletal symptoms being one of the leading reasons for visits to general practitioners, a working knowledge of the basics of these disorders can help in the appropriate diagnosis, treatment, counselling, and specialist referral. This review covers common disorders affecting the hip, the knee and the foot. The aim is to assist general practitioners in recognising developmental norms and differentiating physiological from pathological conditions and to identify when a specialist referral is necessary.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A prospective analysis of the effect of autologous adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in the treatment of an osteochondral defect of the knee with early progressive osteoarthritis following unsuccessful surgical intervention of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). CASE PRESENTATION: After failed conventional management of OCD a patient undergoes intra-articular MSC therapy. Patient outcome measures included the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Structural outcome was assessed using MRI with the novel technique of T2 mapping used to indicate cartilage quality. Following MSC therapy the patient reported improvement in pain and function as measured by NPRS, WOMAC and KOOS. Repeat MRI analysis showed regeneration of cartilage. MRI T2 mapping indicated hyaline like cartilage regrowth. CONCLUSION: In this report, the use of MSCs, after unsuccessful conventional OCD management, resulted in structural, functional and pain improvement. These results highlight the need to further study the regenerative potential of MSC therapy.

RESUMO

There is no gold standard in treating osteochondral lesions, which is why the treatment remains very challenging. Osteochondral defects can occur in any joint, but the most common locations are the knee and the ankle. Trauma, repeated microtrauma, avascular necrosis and osteochondritis dissecans (a special type of avascular necrosis) are blamed for the cartilage damage and the damage of adjacent subchondral bone. The self-healing ability of the cartilage is unfortunately very poor; thus, it is necessary to develop new methods of cartilage repair. Unfortunately, few data and long-term survival rates for these new scaffolds are available. We report a case of osteochondritis dissecans treated with a new cell-free scaffold MaioRegen® (Fin-Ceramica Faenza Spa, Faenza, Italy).

RESUMO

The number of skeletally immature athletes participating in organized sport is near an all-time high. For nearly half a century, the medical community has investigated the link between shoulder and elbow injuries with repetitive throwing. Despite substantial literature and research, several controversies still exist, including when to begin throwing breaking pitches. Furthermore, despite introduction of pitch recommendations for youth baseball, misconceptions, poor understanding of, and adherence to these guidelines persist. High-velocity and high-volume throwing and throwing while fatigued are significant risk factors for injury. Improved awareness and adherence to throwing guidelines should limit the number of injuries. Proper identification and treatment of injuries when they do occur can allow our skeletally immature athletes to safely return to overhead sports activities.

RESUMO

The increasing interest in the role of subchondral bone with regard to articular surface disease led to the development of new bioengineered strategies. Aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and MRI outcome after the implantation of a nanostructured biomimetic three-phasic collagen-hydroxyapatite construct for the treatment of chondral and osteochondral defects of the knee in a large cohort of patients. Seventy-nine patients (63 M, 16 W), affected by grade III-IV femoral condyle or trochlea chondral lesions or osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) were consecutively treated. Mean age was 31.0 ± 11.3 years, mean lesion size was 3.2 ± 2.0 cm(2). Fifty patients underwent previous surgeries, concurrent procedures were necessary in 39 cases. The clinical outcome was evaluated using the IKDC and Tegner scores at 12 and 24 months of follow-up. At follow-up times an MRI was performed and evaluated with the MOCART score. All the scores improved significantly from the baseline. IKDC subjective score showed a further increase between 12 and 24 months of follow-up, and 82.2% of the patients improved their symptoms at the final evaluation. Patients affected by OCDs had better results than those with degenerative lesions. Some abnormal MRI findings were present, even though no correlation was found with the clinical outcome. This one-step biomimetic approach developed to favor osteochondral tissue regeneration is effective in treating knees affected by damages of the articular surface, leading to a significant clinical improvement. However, abnormal MRI findings were present, even if not correlated with the clinical outcome.
