Introduction
Background
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a term for osteochondral fracture. An osteochondral fragment may be present in situ, incompletely
detached, or completely detached. A completely detached fragment is a loose body (see Images 1-2).[1 ]
Lateral radiograph of the knee reveals a calcified loose body (arrowhead) posterior to the knee and lucency (arrow) in the articular surface of the patella.

Anteroposterior radiograph of the knee demonstrates lucency (arrow) in the central and superior aspect of the patella.
Recent studies
Adachi et al evaluated the functional and radiographic outcome of retroarticular drilling without bone grafting in 12 patients with juvenile
osteochondritis dissecans after 6 months of unsuccessful nonoperative treatment. The mean Lysholm score significantly improved
postoperatively (from 72.3 to 95.8). All lesions except 1 healed after retroarticular drilling, and healing was achieved at a mean of 4.4
months on plain radiographs and 7.6 months on magnetic resonance imaging.[2 ]
Kijowski et al retrospectively compared the sensitivity and specificity of previously described magnetic resonance imaging criteria for the
detection of instability in patients with juvenile or adult osteochondritis dissecans of the knee, with arthroscopic findings as the reference
standard. Separately, previously described MR imaging criteria for detection of OCD instability were 0-88% sensitive and 21-100%
specific for juvenile OCD lesions and 27-54% sensitive and 100% specific for adult OCD lesions. When used together, the criteria were
100% sensitive and 11% specific for instability in juvenile OCD lesions and 100% sensitive and 100% specific for instability in adult OCD
lesions. The authors concluded from their findings that previously described MR imaging criteria for OCD instability have high specificity
for adult but not juvenile lesions of the knee.[3 ]
Pathophysiology
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a form of osteochondrosis limited to the articular epiphysis. Articular epiphyses fail as a result of
compression. Both trauma and ischemia probably are involved in the pathology. Trauma is most likely the primary insult, with ischemia
as secondary injury.[4,5 ]

Trauma may be direct, such as impaction fracture, or repetitive microtrauma, such as excessive normal compressive stress.[4,5 ]The
pathology of OCD may be described in 3 stages.
1. In the first stage (acute injury), thickened and edematous intra-articular and periarticular soft tissues are observed. Often, the
adjacent metaphysis reveals mild osteoporosis resulting from active hyperemia of the metaphysis.
2. In the second stage, the epiphysis reveals an irregular contour and a thinning of the subcortical zone of rarefaction. On
radiography, the epiphysis may demonstrate fragmentation. Blood vessels within the epiphysis are incompetent because of
thrombosis or microfractures of the trabeculae, which results in poor healing.
3. The third stage is the period of repair in which granulation tissue gradually replaces the necrotic tissue. Necrotic bone may lose its
structural support, which results in compression and flattening of the articular surface.
Injury of the articular cartilage allows an influx of synovial fluid into the epiphysis, creating a subchondral cyst (see Images 3-8). The
subchondral cyst and increased joint pressure may prevent healing.
Anteroposterior radiograph of the knee is unremarkable.

Knee: In the knee joint, the medial femoral condyle is the most commonly involved site (see Images 9-10). Potential locations are
the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle (75%), the weightbearing surface of the medial (10%) and lateral femoral
condyles (10%), and the anterior intercondylar groove or patella (5%) (see Images 1-2, Images 11-13). Rarely, OCD occurs in the
medial tibial plateau (see Images 14-15).[6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 ]

Axial CT of the knee demonstrates a completely detached osteochondral fracture (arrowhead) in the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle.
Elbow: In the elbow joint, the most common site of OCD occurs in the anterolateral aspect of the capitellum. Singer and Roy
proposed that repeated valgus stress and a tenuous blood supply within the capitellum explain the frequent occurrence of OCD in
this location.[17 ]In a cadaveric study of the articular surfaces of the radiocapitellar joint, Schenck et al demonstrated significant
topographic differences in the mechanical properties and thickness of cartilage in the capitellum and radial head.[18 ]Disparity in
the mechanical properties of the central radial head and lateral capitellum probably is a factor in the initiation and localization of
OCD of the capitellum (see Images 16-23).[19,20 ]

Ankle: In the ankle joint, OCD occurs more frequently in the talus (see Images 24-32) than in the tibial plafond (see Images 33-36)
and is 4-14 times more common.[21,22 ]Disparity in frequency results from the biomechanical topography of the human ankle
cartilage, since tibial cartilage is stiffer than talar cartilage. The usual sites of OCD of the talar dome are the posteromedial aspect
(56%) and the anterolateral aspect (44%) of the talus. Occasionally, mirror-image osteochondral defects of the talus and distal
tibia occur, suggesting trauma as a potential cause of both lesions.[7,23,24,25,26,27,28 ]

Anteroposterior radiograph of the leg reveals osteochondritis dissecans in the medial talar dome (arrowhead).
Mortise view of the ankle reveals lucency in the central portion of the tibial plafond (arrowhead).
Tarsal navicular: Occasionally, OCD of the tarsal navicular (see Images 37-40) is seen on ankle radiographs. Osteochondral
fracture of the tarsal navicular is not as rare as previously reported in the radiologic literature. Radiographic findings can be subtle
and, in some patients, may mimic Mueller-Weiss syndrome or stress fracture of the tarsal navicular. CT or MRI helps confirm the
diagnosis. OCD of the tarsal navicular is limited to the proximal articular surface. Tarsal navicular OCD does not demonstrate the
classic radiographic appearance of Mueller-Weiss syndrome, which includes comma-shaped deformity of the navicular resulting
from collapse of the lateral portion of the bone, bipartite navicular resulting from fracture, or protrusion of portions of the bone or

the entire navicular bone, medially or dorsally. In addition, tarsal OCD does not demonstrate either partial or complete sagittal
fracture line on CT or MRI.[29 ]
Lateral radiograph of the ankle reveals a cortical depression and loss of the sharp cortical line in the proximal articular surface of the tarsal navicular (arrowhead).

Sagittal T1-weighted image of the ankle confirms osteochondritis dissecans of the tarsal navicular (arrowhead).
Hip joint: In the hip joint, OCD occurs overwhelmingly in the femoral capital epiphysis. Only case reports exist of patients with
OCD of the acetabulum. Many patients with OCD of the femoral capital epiphysis have a prior history of Legg-Calve-Perthes
Disease. OCD is observed in approximately 3% of adults who had Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease as children. However, this
complication cannot be predicted during the early stages of the Legg-Calvé-Perthes process and may present years later.[25,30,31,32,33 ]
Shoulder joint: OCD rarely occurs in the shoulder joint, where it involves either the humeral head or the glenoid. Only 7 patients
with OCD of the humeral head have been reported. All of the patients were men, ranging from age 12-44 years. Five of the
patients (71%) demonstrated lesions in the right shoulder, suggesting an association with right-handedness. Locations of
involvement were the anterosuperior, posterosuperior, posteromedial, superior, and medio-inferior aspects of the humeral head.[34,35,36,37 ]
Glenoid: OCD of the glenoid is best detected on MRI. A developmental defect of the glenoid is a normal variant that may be
mistaken for OCD of the glenoid (see Images 41-42). Developmental defect of the glenoid is a small focal defect within the center
of the glenoid and without associated subchondral bone marrow edema. OCD of the glenoid usually is a much larger and
eccentrically located lesion (see Images 43-46).

Wrist joint: OCD of the wrist joint is rare and primarily occurs in the scaphoid. It may occur in either the distal or proximal pole and
in either the distal or proximal articular surface of the scaphoid and may be bilateral. OCD of the scaphoid has been observed in
bakers, boxers, pelota players, acrobats, and pneumatic drill workers, all of whom are subjected to repeated minor trauma of the
wrist. One report of OCD of the distal radioulnar joint exists.[38,39,40,41 ]
Frequency
United States
Overall prevalence of osteochondritis dissecans is unknown; however, the prevalence of OCD in specific joints has been reported. In
femoral condyles, OCD has been estimated to occur in 6 per 10,000 men and in 3 per 10,000 women younger than 50 years. OCD of the
ankle occurs in 0.002 per 1000, regardless of age and sex. Nielsen reported a frequency of 4.1% for OCD of the elbow.[42 ]In general,
OCD occurs more commonly in the convex surface than in the concave surface of a joint.
Overall, the knee is most frequently involved in OCD.[8 ]In a large series of patients with OCD, OCD of the elbow, ankle, and hip
comprising approximately 6%, 4%, and 2% of OCD patients, respectively, was reported. Since the advent of cross-sectional imaging (CT
and MRI), OCD of the talus has been diagnosed more frequently and, in future series, may represent the most frequent site of OCD.
Mortality/Morbidity
Pain is the primary symptom in osteochondritis dissecans. Osteoarthritis is a common long-term complication.

Race
No racial predilection is recognized in osteochondritis dissecans.
Sex
No sex predilection is reported in osteochondritis dissecans.
Age
Osteochondritis dissecans tends to affect young patients. In OCD of the elbow, patient age averages 23 years and ranges from 4-47
years. In OCD of the ankle, patient age averages 20 years and ranges from 8-50 years. In OCD of the hip, patient age averages 24
years and ranges from 14-39 years.[43 ]
Presentation
Patients with osteochondritis dissecans usually report pain at the extremes of motion range. Periarticular edema is often present with
slight warmth to the touch. When a lower extremity is involved, patients often limp. Symptoms usually improve with protected
immobilization of the joint.
Preferred Examination
Staging classifications of osteochondral lesions have been described best in the talus. Arthroscopic classifications of osteochondral
lesions are the criterion standard. Two arthroscopic classifications of osteochondral lesions of the talus are reported. Both surgical
classifications are based on the appearance of the overlying articular cartilage as seen on arthroscopy
The Pritsch arthroscopic staging of osteochondral lesions of the talus is as follows[44 ]:
Grade I - Intact, firm, shiny articular cartilage
Grade II - Intact but soft articular cartilage
Grade III - Frayed articular cartilage
The Cheng arthroscopic staging of osteochondral lesions of the talus is as follows[45 ]:
Grade A - Articular cartilage is smooth and intact but may be soft or ballottable
Grade B - Articular cartilage has a rough surface
Grade C - Articular cartilage has fibrillations or fissures
Grade D - Articular cartilage with a flap or exposed bone
Grade E - Loose, nondisplaced osteochondral fragment
Grade F - Displaced osteochondral fragment
Radiographic findings correspond with arthroscopic staging in 56% of patients, because fibrosis may provide stability in osseous
separation. MRI correlates best with surgical staging.

Findings
On conventional radiographs, osteochondral lesions may appear normal. When detectable, osteochondral lesions appear as lucencies in
the articular epiphysis. Osteochondritis dissecans is suggested by a loss of the sharp cortical line of the articular surface.[7,20,46 ]
The Berndt and Harty radiographic classification of osteochondral lesions of the talus is as follows[47 ]:
Stage I - Normal radiograph (subchondral compression fracture of the talus with no ligamentous sprain)

Stage I - Cystic lesion of the talar dome with an intact roof
Stage IIa - Cystic lesion with communication to the talar dome surface
Stage IIb - Open articular surface lesion with an overlying, nondisplaced fragment
Stage III - Nondisplaced lesion with lucency
Stage IV - Displaced osteochondral fragment

Findings
Sonography has been used to evaluate osteochondritis dissecans of the knee and humeral capitellum. The advantage of sonography is
dynamic scanning with motion of the evaluated joint. In one study, sonographic assessment of OCD of the humeral capitellum agreed
Página 40 de 77Osteochondritis Dissecans: [Print] - eMedicine Radiology
17/02/2010http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/392396-print
with radiographic assessment in 23 of 27 patients (85%), MRI assessment in 9 of 10 (90%), and surgical findings in 14 of 15 (93%).
The sonographic appearance of OCD of the capitellum is as follows:
Stable - Localized, subchondral bony flattening and normal articular surface
Stable - Lesion with nondisplaced osteochondral fragment
Unstable - Capitellar osteochondral defect with loose intra-articular fragment
Unstable - Lesion with slightly displaced osteochondral fragment
Nuclear Imaging
Findings
Scintigraphic findings are nonspecific, demonstrating a mild-to-marked increase in focal uptake in the involved bone, depending on the
age of the osteochondritis dissecans. Dynamic bone scintigraphy is twice as sensitive as static scintigraphy in the detection of OCD of
the femoral condyles. The scintigraphic appearance is probably a result of the slow repair process around an OCD, involving only the
bone tissue surrounding the lesion, and is not a result of the OCD itself.[9,49 ]
Intervention
Treatment consists of discontinuation of the injurious activity, protected immobilization of the joint, and administration of nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory medications. Surgery may be required to remove the intra-articular loose body and/or correct the resulting
degenerative changes.[14,26,30,40,44 ]
