5. Total Snooze-fest! Nonoperative Management of OCD Lesions

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Kevin Shea discusses the non-operative management of OCD (osteochondritis dissecans) lesions. He begins by defining OCD and its potential for causing premature osteoarthritis. He distinguishes between stable and unstable lesions and describes common symptoms and clinical examinations for both. Shea notes the importance of various imaging techniques, including radiographs and MRIs, in determining lesion stability and healing potential. He also mentions a treatment algorithm developed by the ROCK group, which helps predict healing based on lesion size, symptoms, and other factors. Shea emphasizes the need for close follow-up, especially in younger patients, and discusses ongoing efforts to improve prediction algorithms for healing.
