Description

In a double-blind prospective study, 14 patients with 15 cases of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee were studied using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to arthroscopy to see if MRI could be useful for predicting lesion stability and planning type of therapy.<br>In 12 lesions (80%), MRI could accurately evaluate the arthroscopic stage of OCD. All lesions with unstable fragments could be predicted exactly by MRI.<br>We conclude that MRI is useful in evaluating lesion stability and deciding treatmernt procedure in paticnts with OCD of the knee.
