The authors present a review of the literature concerning the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of osteochondral defects of the lower extremity. A case of bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in a 43-year-old female is presented, including surgical treatment with 1- and 3-year follow-up examinations. The correlation between articular damage to the first metatarsal head and concomitant hallux limitus and hallux rigidus is discussed. The authors also propose that osteochondritis dissecans lesions almost always occur on the convex surface of a joint because of a convergence of impaction forces.

In recent years, the incidence of cartilage defects has increased dramatically, and its etiology is complex and varied. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), as one of the main etiologies, damages both cartilage and bone tissues and can progress to severe osteoarthritis, which has been one of the difficult problems for clinicians. The vigorous development of material science and tissue engineering provides new ideas for the treatment of OCD, in which the selection of scaffold materials is particularly important.

A 13-year-old boy was referred to orthopedic surgery for chronic intermittent pain and swelling of the left knee. Initial imaging was consistent with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle. Follow-up imaging demonstrated unexpected progression, with a mass extending into the notch, replacing the anterior cruciate ligament, and eroding the femoral and tibial condyles.

Introduction: Management of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the capitellum is challenging. Historically, variability exists between surgeons in the evaluation, treatment, and return to sport criteria. The purpose of this study was to define the current trends regarding evaluation, nonoperative and surgical management, and return to sport criteria for capitellar OCD lesions among surgeons.
