Osteochondritis dissecans - stage III
Updates to Study Attributes
Intraarticular fragment best seen on T1 sagittal images due to its calcification and also on axial plane.
Medial femoral condyle deformation with a cartilage interruption.
No evidence of ligamentous and/or meniscal damagesinjury.
Normal patella and trochlear anatomy.
Sesamoid bone posterior to the lateral femoral condyle - fabella.

ThereThese are findings of an osteochondritis dissecans (Konig disease) outcome - formed intraarticularwith an intra-articular non dislocated-dislocated fragment, in accordance to the osteochondritis dissecans surgical staging system stage III.
There were specific complaints to suspect this pathology: pains pain increasing with knee joint motion, which is thought to be caused by intraarticularintra-articular fragment impact on toimpaction onto well innervated knee joint structures.
Osteochondritis dissecans occurs most often in children and adolescents, and most commonly in the knee joint, but also can beebe seen in the elbows, and ankles, and other joints such aas the talus. Estimated prevalence in the knee is 15 to 29 per 100,000 individuals.
The exact cause of osteochondritis dissecans is unknown. The reduced blood flow to the epiphysis of the affected bone might result from repetitive trauma — small, multiple episodes of minor, unrecognised injury that damage the bone. There might be a genetic component, making some people more prone to the disorder. There are some ongoing trials conserningconcerning genetic changes.
