An 11-month-old neutered female crossbreed dog was admitted with left pelvic limb lameness. Radiographs and computed tomography identified an osteochondritis dissecans- (OCD) like lesion in the intercondylar fossa of the femur originating from the axial aspect of the medial femoral condyle. Stifle arthrotomy was performed in order to remove the bony fragment. It was concluded that the clinical features and location of this lesion indicate an osteochondritis dessicans-like lesion. Fragment removal was associated with an excellent outcome.

Risk of Chondral Fracture During Implantation of Distal Femur Osteochondral Autograft Plugs: A Human Cadaveric Comparison of Four Different Donor Regions.
Cartilage
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, LSU Health Shreveport, Shreveport, LA, USA.
Introduction: Distal femoral cartilage lesions can be treated using osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT). When impacting plugs into a recipient site, the cartilage may fracture. This study aimed to analyze OAT donor regions and impaction energies to identify characteristics that lead to fracture.

Objective: The surgical goal is the arthroscopically assisted, closed reduction, and suture osteosynthesis of fractures of the tibial eminence in children and adolescents.
Indications: Fractures of the tibial eminence type (II)-III according to Meyers & McKeever or type IV according to Zaricznyj.
Contraindications: Fracture of the tibial eminence type I, conservatively treatable fracture type II according to Meyers & McKeever and ligamentous rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Inside-Out Repair of Medial Meniscal Ramp Lesions in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Twin Cities Orthopedics, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Article Synopsis
- Medial meniscal ramp lesions occur at the junctions of the medial meniscus and are often found in up to 42% of ACL tears, but commonly go undetected due to limitations in MRI and physical examinations.
- Proper arthroscopic evaluation, including modified techniques, is necessary for effective diagnosis and treatment of these lesions to prevent increased knee instability and potential ACL graft failure.
- The video article outlines a systematic approach to identify and assess ramp lesions, demonstrating an innovative mini-open repair technique during ACL reconstruction surgery.

July 2024
Department of Paediatric Orthopedics, Sancheti Institute for Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Pune, India.
Article Synopsis
- - A 3-year-old boy was diagnosed with focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) at the upper left tibia, causing a progressive deformity in his leg.
- - He underwent curettage (surgical scraping) of the lesion and lateral proximal tibia hemiepiphysiodesis using 8 plates to correct the deformity.
- - The treatment was successful; the deformity was corrected within a year, the plates were removed, and the child continues to be monitored until he reaches skeletal maturity.
Anteromedial knee osteoarthritis (AMOA) evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a cohort study of 100 patients.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Windmill Rd, Oxford, OX3 7LD, UK.
Article Synopsis
- MRI scans are being used more frequently to assess knee osteoarthritis and plan for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), especially since many patients have scans prior to seeing their surgeons.
- The study analyzed 100 knees with specific criteria to evaluate cartilage damage, osteophytes, meniscal issues, and ACL status, with decisions for UKA based on surgical inspections rather than MRI alone.
- Findings showed significant cartilage loss in the medial compartment, varying conditions of the ACL, and some osteophyte presence, stressing that while MRI confirms bone-on-bone disease, further understanding of additional findings is necessary for better patient outcomes.
