Overview and Current Concepts in Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee.
An AJSM-PRiSM Webinar.


Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a joint disorder that most commonly affects the knee joint. Treatment options are still sometimes controversial regarding indications for surgery, timing of surgery, and choice of procedure, and recommendations may vary regarding physical activity restrictions and the timing of return to sports. We have gathered a world-class faculty to weigh in on this topic, including Drs. Justin W. Arner, Minder S. Kocher, Theodore J. Ganley, and Marc Tompkins.

The webinar aims to provide the latest comprehensive knowledge of this disease, from epidemiology, etiology, and imaging diagnosis to indications and treatment methods. The American Journal of Sports Medicine and cohost PRiSM invite you to join our faculty of experts, led by moderator Ryuichiro Akagi, in their discussion.
