The Cutting Edge in Osteochondritis Dissecans: Updates from the ROCK Group (1/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses recent findings and research on the causes and etiology of OCD (osteochondritis dissecans). They touch on possible causes such as pharmacological, mechanical overloading, vascularity, genetics, and avascular necrosis. The video also explores the similarities in OCD prevalence and vascular architecture between humans and pigs, while goats have a richer vascular network and do not develop OCD. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the disease's etiology for predictive purposes and suggests that a vascular biological approach may be needed in treatment. The video concludes by mentioning ongoing research and the need for more evidence.
