Osteochondritis dissecans of the medial elbow trochlea treated with lateral clavicle autograft: a case report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathology commonly found in knee joints but is also found in other sites notably ankle, hip, and elbow.3 OCD in the elbow is mostly seen in the capitellum of the humerus but can also, infrequently, develop in the medial trochlea of the humerus. OCD is most commonly seen in children and adolescents, particularly athletes in throwing sports, but it can occur less commonly in adults.3 OCD can be caused by multiple factors, including the overuse of a joint due to activity, injuries, or trauma.
