Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of orthopedic surgeons discuss various cases of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in the knee and the treatment options available. They discuss the importance of imaging in diagnosing and assessing the severity of OCD lesions. They also highlight the different treatment approaches for OCD, including non-operative management, arthroscopic drilling, and open fixation. The panelists emphasize the importance of cleaning out the lesion and promoting osseous healing to ensure successful treatment. They also discuss the use of biologics, such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), in aiding the healing process. The panelists further discuss the timing of return to activity and the importance of monitoring radiographic healing before allowing patients to resume impact activities. Overall, the video provides insights into the diagnosis and treatment of OCD in the knee and highlights the importance of individualized treatment plans for each patient.
