Pdf Summary
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of different treatments for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum. Surgical treatments result in increased range of motion and elbow scores for both stable and unstable lesions. Nonoperative treatment is comparable to surgical treatment for low-grade lesions and better for stable lesions in terms of return to sports. Factors such as physeal status and lesion location influence treatment outcomes. Complication rates are low, with persistent pain being the most common. More research is needed for optimal treatment and classification systems. The review emphasizes the need for better data collection and more high-quality studies.
