RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The frequency of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), a disorder of the subchondral bone and articular cartilage, is not well described. PURPOSE: To assess the frequency of pediatric OCD lesions that progress to surgery based on sex, joint involvement, and age. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. METHODS: A retrospective chart review (2007-2011) was performed on OCD. Inclusion criteria included OCD of any joint and patients aged 2 to 19 years. Exclusion criteria included traumatic osteochondral fractures or coexistence of non-OCD intra-articular lesions. Differences in progression toward surgery were compared between age groups, sex, and joint location. Logistical regression analysis was performed by sex, age, and ethnicity. RESULTS: Overall, 317 patients with a total of 334 OCD lesions were found. The majority of lesions (61.7%) were in the knee, with ankle, elbow, shoulder, and foot lesions representing 25.4%, 12.0%, 0.6%, and 0.3% of all lesions, respectively. The majority of joints needing surgery were in the knee (58.5%), with ankle and elbow lesions representing 22.9% and 18.6% of surgeries performed, respectively. The percentage of all OCD lesions progressing to surgery was 35.3%; surgical progression for knee, ankle, and elbow joints was 33.5%, 31.8%, and 55.0%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis found no statistically significant different risk of progressing to surgery for OCD of the knee, elbow, and ankle between sexes. Patients aged 12 to 19 years had a 7.4-times greater risk of progression to surgery for knee OCD lesions than 6- to 11-year-olds. Patients aged 12 to 19 years were 8.2 times more likely to progress to surgery for all OCD lesions than patients aged 6 to 11 years. Progression to surgery of ankle OCD did not significantly differ based on location. Three of 4 trochlear lesions progressed to surgery, along with 1 of 1 tibial, 1 of 3 patellar, 40.3% of lateral femoral condylar, and 28.2% of medial femoral condylar lesions. CONCLUSION: In this large cohort study of pediatric OCD patients, 35% progressed to surgery. Progression to surgery did not differ significantly between sexes with OCD of any joint. Progression to surgery for OCD of the knee, elbow, and ankle strongly correlated with patient age at the time of diagnosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The knowledge of likelihood of progression to surgery of OCD by location, sex, and age is useful in counseling patients and in planning treatment. This study confirms a worse prognosis in the nonoperative treatment of older patients with OCD.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Dosimetric distribution of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to tooth-bearing areas for common head and neck (H&N) cancer sites were analyzed to facilitate minimization of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) risk through preradiation dental treatment planning. STUDY DESIGN: Fifty-four patients received IMRT with prescribed doses ranging from 6000 centigrays (cGy) (adjuvant) to 6930 cGy (primary) to treat base of tongue (BOT), tonsil, larynx, nasopharynx, and hypopharynx cancers. The average maximal radiation dose delivered was recorded in tooth-bearing areas (anteriors, premolars, and first, second, and third molars) of the maxilla and mandible. RESULTS: All tooth-bearing areas in laryngeal cancer cases received less than 2500 cGy. Maxillary and mandibular molar regions for BOT, tonsil, and hypopharynx cancers received 5000 cGy or higher. In nasopharynx cancers, maxillary teeth received higher doses than mandibular teeth. CONCLUSIONS: Among 5 H&N subsites, mandibular molar regions for BOT, tonsil, and hypopharynx cancers received higher IMRT doses on average, posing the greatest ORN risk.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the ankle is a disorder of the talar or distal tibial subchondral bone and articular cartilage whose incidence in children is not clearly known. PURPOSE: To assess the demographics and epidemiology of OCD of the ankle in children. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiologic study. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of an integrated health system was conducted on patients with ankle OCD aged 2 to 19 years from 2007 to 2011, with >1 million patients in this cohort. Lesion location, laterality, and all patient demographics were recorded. Ankle OCD incidence was determined for the group as a whole and by both sex and age group (divided into age groups of 2-5, 6-11, and 12-19 years). The risk for ankle OCD for age group, sex, and ethnicity was assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS: A total of 85 patients fit the inclusion criteria, and 71.8% of lesions found were in the medial talus, 56.5% of lesions were right sided, and none were bilateral. No ankle OCD lesions were found in 2- to 5-year-olds. The incidence of ankle OCD in patients aged 6 to 19 years was 4.6 per 100,000 overall and 3.2 and 6.0 per 100,000 for male and female patients, respectively. Patients aged 12 to 19 years represented the vast majority of those with OCD, with an incidence of 6.8 per 100,000 compared with 1.1 per 100,000 in those 6 to 11 years of age. In those aged 6 to 11 and 12 to 19 years, female patients had a respective incidence of 1.5 and 8.9 per 100,000, whereas male patients had a respective incidence of 0.7 and 4.8 per 100,000. The overall female/male ratio of ankle OCD was 1.6:1. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a 6.9 times increased risk for ankle OCD in patients aged 12 to 19 years compared with those aged 6 to 11 years (95% CI, 3.8-12.5; P < .0001), and female patients had a 1.5 times greater risk for ankle OCD than male patients (95% CI, 1.0-2.3; P = .06). On the basis of race and ethnicity, non-Hispanic whites had the highest relative risk for disease and African Americans the lowest risk. CONCLUSION: In this population-based cohort study of pediatric ankle OCD, female patients had a greater incidence of OCD and a 1.5 times greater risk for ankle OCD compared with male patients. Teenagers had nearly 7 times the risk for ankle OCD compared with children 6 to 11 years of age.
