Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the glenoid is a rare condition occurring primarily in overhead athletes. Symptoms are not specific and consist of pain, worsening range of motion, and decreased sport performance. Radiologic evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and, in particular magnetic resonance imaging, to grade this condition according to the International Cartilage Research Society OCD grading system. International Cartilage Research Society OCD stages II, III, and IV generally require surgical treatment. There's still no consensus on the best procedure, and various techniques have been described, mostly inspired by experience in other joints. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic technique with a single-layer hyaluronate-based scaffold added to microfractures and fixed with fibrin glue for the treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the glenoid.

Purpose: To determine the safest screw length that will avoid penetrating the femoral physis for surgical fixation of juvenile osteochondritis dissecans lesions and to compare the safe screw lengths for different regions in the condyles.
Methods: After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of pediatric patients. Longitudinal axis reference lines were made on the femur.

Objective: Gymnasts and baseball players have different mechanisms of loading their elbows, and there is little data comparing osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions between these 2 sports. Our objective is to compare the clinical and imaging characteristics of elbow OCD lesions between weight-bearing and throwing athletes.
Design: Review from 2015 to 2022.
