Abstract

The results of surgical treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of a knee joint in children were studied. Three groups of monitoring were formed: arthroscopic treatment of early stages — 31 children, arthroscopic treatment of late stages — 14 children, arthrotomic treatment of late stages — 14 children. Immediate results are comparable in all the groups. The best long-term results were observed in groups of arthroscopic treatment, especially in early stages. Simultaneous application of bone marrow stimulation techniques and symptomatic treatment is more effective.
