Osteochondritis Dissecans Injury
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a disorder where fragments of bone break off from the knee joint surface. This interferes with normal knee joint function and causes knee pain and swelling. The condition usually presents itself to patients in their teenage years but the disorder may appear in later life, where it is associated with the degeneration of knee arthritis. Knee surgery may be required for Osteochondritis Dissecans.
Common Osteochondritis Dissecans signs & symptoms:
- Aching knee pain.
- Swollen knee.
- Knee locking and giving way, with a painful clunk.
