AOSSM 2022 Annual Meeting Recordings - no CME-Elbow OCD (gymnast)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses OCD (osteochondritis dissecans) in pediatric patients, specifically focusing on gymnasts. They mention that OCD can present similarly in all patients, with symptoms including pain, swelling, motion loss, catching, locking, deformity, loss of function, and performance. The speaker references a study that suggests female gymnasts may present with earlier grades of OCD lesions compared to males, potentially leading to greater functional limitations. Treatment options such as debridement, drilling, fixation, and complex reconstruction are discussed, with varying outcomes reported in different studies. The speaker emphasizes the importance of an evidence-based, algorithm-based approach to treatment and highlights the need for further research on outcomes in gymnasts.
