Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Glenoid: A Rare Injury Secondary to Repetitive Microtrauma

Three Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesions in One Knee: A Case Report

“…This case highlights the different treatment for each OCD lesion: nonoperative treatment for the lesion of the LFC; bone grafting and fixation for the salvageable lesion of the MFC; and resection of the nonfunctional progeny tissue, bone grafting, and drilling of the unsalvageable lesion of the trochlea. The subsequent development of a MFC OCD lesion after using a varus unloader brace is unique and lends itself to the hypothesis described by others [3,6,18] that repetitive stress or microtrauma to the knee may contribute to the development of an OCD lesion. Specifically, the partial redistribution of weight from the LFC to the MFC may have contributed to the development of the MFC OCD lesion that followed.…”

Osteocondritis disecante. Primeros resultados en restos humanos de cazadores-recolectores del Holoceno en Patagonia austral

“…En las regiones correspondientes al Norte, principalmente representadas por individuos con dietas terrestres y mixtas, la articulación más frecuentemente afectada es la fosa glenoidea del omóplato. De acuerdo con estudios previos (Bullough 2004;Edmonds y Heyworth 2014;Edmonds y Polousky 2013;Waldron 2009), esta articulación no es frecuentemente afectada por la OCD en poblaciones tanto actuales como pasadas, aunque se ha reportado en unos pocos individuos a partir de estudios bioarqueológicos (Bourbou 2003;McWirr et al 1982;Rodríguez-Martín 2000) y clínicos (Chu et al 2009;Gogus y Ozturk 2008;Shanley y Mulligan 1990).…”

“…En cuanto a la región del hombro, las porciones anatómicas más afectadas son la cabeza humeral y en menor medida la fosa glenoidea (e.g. Chu et al 2009;Gogus y Ozturk 2008;Shanley y Mulligan 1990). En cualquiera de las articulaciones mencionadas, cuando no se realizan tratamientos médicos la OCD puede producir dolor y disminución en la capacidad física de la articulación afectada.…”

An Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesion of the Glenoid in an Adult

“…Gogus and Ozturk described a lesion with glenoid cartilage loss and subchondral cyst formation that was treated with microfracture surgery 1 . Chu et al described a patient with a glenoid cartilaginous flap with mild subchondral bone edema that was treated with arthroscopic drilling 3 .…”

“…It is critical to recognize that OCD lesions involve the subchondral bone, and if healing does not occur, there is potential for separation of the bone and overlying cartilage, resulting in a loose body. To the best of our knowledge, there have been few reports in the literature involving the glenoid [1][2][3][4][5] , and even fewer describing treatment of OCD in this location 1,3 .…”
