  • Title: A novel surgical procedure for osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle: Exchanging osteochondral plugs taken from donor and recipient sites.
    Author: Nakagawa Y, Matsusue Y, Nakamura T.
    Journal: Arthroscopy; 2002 Jan; 18(1):E5. PubMed ID: 11774158.
    Abstract:
    We treated a 16-year-old boy who had a large symptomatic osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion of the lateral femoral condyle by exchanging osteochondral plugs taken from the donor site with plugs taken from the recipient site. At final inspection 36 months after surgery, he had full range of motion and no symptoms in his knees. Our methods can be used to treat grade 2 or 3 OCD lesions, as classified by Clanton and DeLee.
