Abstract
The authors' preferred treatment algorithm for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is based on skeletal maturity, OCD lesion stability, and OCD lesion salvageability. For unstable yet salvageable OCD lesions, the senior author's preferred treatment is fixation with bone grafting. For unstable and unsalvageable OCD lesions, the senior author's preferred treatment is autologous chondrocyte implantation with bone grafting.Entities:
