Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee Treatment
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a joint condition where a fragment of bone and cartilage becomes damaged due to reduced blood supply. This can cause knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and joint locking.
Our services
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) of the Knee
Comprehensive Knee Evaluation & Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential for managing osteochondritis dissecans of the knee. We perform detailed clinical examinations, advanced imaging (X-ray, MRI), and functional assessments to evaluate cartilage damage and bone stability.
Advanced Non-Surgical Management
In early or stable cases, OCD of the knee can often be treated without surgery. Treatment options may include activity modification, bracing, physiotherapy, and medications to reduce pain and inflammation.
Precision Surgical Treatment
For unstable lesions or persistent symptoms, surgical intervention may be necessary. We perform advanced procedures such as arthroscopic fixation, drilling techniques to stimulate healing, or cartilage restoration procedures to preserve joint function and relieve pain.
Cartilage & Joint Preservation
OCD affects both bone and cartilage. Our treatment approach focuses on preserving healthy joint tissue, restoring structural stability, and preventing long-term complications such as early osteoarthritis.
Advanced Surgical Expertise
With extensive experience in managing complex knee conditions, we use minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to ensure accurate repair, reduced tissue trauma, and faster recovery.

1. What is osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee?
Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition in which a small segment of bone and the overlying cartilage loses blood supply and may become loose within the knee joint. It can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and sometimes locking or catching of the knee.
2. What causes osteochondritis dissecans?
The exact cause is not always clear, but OCD is often linked to repetitive stress on the knee, sports injuries, or reduced blood supply to the bone beneath the cartilage. It commonly affects adolescents and young athletes but can also occur in adults.
3. Can osteochondritis dissecans heal without surgery?
Yes, in early or stable cases—especially in younger patients—the condition may heal with non-surgical treatment such as rest, activity modification, bracing, and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered when the bone fragment becomes unstable or symptoms persist.
4. What is the recovery time after OCD knee surgery?
Recovery depends on the severity of the condition and the type of procedure performed. Most patients require structured rehabilitation for several weeks to months. Gradual return to sports or high-impact activities is advised under medical supervision.
