Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of patients with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in the knee, focusing on radiological and patient-reported results while identifying potential risk factors for progression.
- A total of 90 patients were reviewed over an average of 12 years, with findings showing that a significant portion experienced radiological progression of osteoarthritis, and factors like age, body mass index (BMI), and lesion depth correlated with this progression.
- Despite some patients experiencing deterioration, 55% exhibited no cartilage degeneration, indicating generally positive clinical outcomes for OCD management over the long term.
