Abstract:PurposeTo determine the most up-to-date theory on the aetiology of Panner’s disease, to form a consensus on the assessment of radiographs and to evaluate clinical outcome in order to summarise the best available evidence for diagnosis and treatment.MethodsA review of studies to date on Panner’s disease. Studies were eligible if: (1) the study provided criteria for defining Panner’s disease in order to eliminate confounding data on other radiographic entities that were mistakenly grouped and presented as Panner… Show more
“…4) Claessen et al 3) reported an article reviewing 23 cases of Panner's disease. According to their findings, most cases of Panner's disease were unilateral in distribution and occurred in boys between 6 and 15 years of age and self-limiting disease healing without clinical impairments.…”

Panner's disease, osteonecrosis of the capitellum of the elbow, was first reported by Panner in 1927. The disease occurs mainly in boys between 6 and 15 years old and shows unilateral distribution. Pain, stiffness, localized tenderness over the lateral condyle of the elbow, and decreased range of motion are the typical clinical symptoms. Conservative treatment is generally recommended for patients in the early stage of this disease. A few cases of Panner's disease have been reported and few are related to long-term follow-up results. To the best of our knowledge, all reported cases were over six years. Therefore, we report on a five-year-old boy diagnosed as Panner's disease that showed resorption and regeneration of the humeral capitellum with no limitation of motion over three years.

“…Often there is history of trauma or repetitive stress, more specifically valgus stress or increased axial load to the elbow. Valgus stress is probably the most important factor in the pathogenesis of Panner’s disease under the age of five years [ 1 ].…”
“…Generally the reported outcomes in terms of function and range of motion were good regardless of the treatment. 8 No good comparative studies have shown one method to be superior over another.…”
Osteochondrosis is an umbrella term for a broad variety of conditions affecting all areas of the body. The aetiology is not fully understood and the clinical effects vary from mild pain and discomfort to gross disability. Generally they are self-limiting conditions and can be managed with activity modification and physical therapy. However, some conditions, such as LeggeCalveePerthes, or Blount's, can result in lifelong disability if left untreated.This paper aims to give a broad overview of the osteochondroses and present a synopsis of the more common types, reviewing the current literature and giving guidance on management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
