Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans with an Unstable or Displaced Knee Lesion
Osteochondritis dissecans of the knee can present with lesions that are classified as unstable or displaced.
Symptomatic patients in this setting — whether skeletally immature or skeletally mature — require a targeted
management approach distinct from that used for stable lesions.
This protocol applies to symptomatic patients presenting with an unstable or displaced
osteochondritis dissecans lesion of the knee, across both skeletally immature and skeletally
mature patient populations.
Treatment Approach
For this presentation, the structured regimen centres on a surgical intervention directed at the
affected knee. The specific procedural pathway, decision criteria, and sequencing are outlined
in the full protocol.
Complete regimen available via the link below.
