OCD Fixation: 1. Non-operative vs Operative Treatment of OSteochondritis Dissecans Determination of Stability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discussed the topic of determining the stability of knee osteochondritis dissecans (OCDs). The speaker mentioned their affiliations and expressed gratitude towards organizations and research efforts related to the topic. They highlighted the lack of reliable evidence in determining how to treat these patients and emphasized the importance of improving discussions, conversations, and outcomes for this condition. The speaker explained the significance of radiographic evaluation in assessing the stability of OCDs. They discussed various factors to consider, including the appearance of the progeny bone and the contour of the articular side of the fragment. The speaker also mentioned the importance of assessing bilateral OCDs and shared information about MRI evaluation and different stages of the condition. They discussed the use of normograms to determine healing probabilities and factors associated with stability. Operative indications and a new arthroscopic classification system for OCDs were also briefly mentioned. The speaker concluded by discussing the importance of pre-operative planning and different drilling techniques for treatment. Overall, the video aimed to provide insights and pearls for evaluating and managing knee OCDs.
