  • Title: Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans.
    Author: Wall E, Von Stein D.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2003 Jul; 34(3):341-53. PubMed ID: 12974484.
    Abstract:
    JOCD has better potential for healing than adult OCD, but several series have shown up to a 50% failure to heal with nonsurgical techniques. JOCD poses a therapeutic dilemma for the pediatric sports specialist because the healing potential is unpredictable at the disease onset. There are no controlled prospective studies on this condition to accurately gauge the effect of different treatments, or even if treatment affects the natural history of JOCD.
