Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the functional, clinical and radiographic outcomes associated with trans-articular drilling versus retro-articular drilling, two commonly employed techniques of operative treatment for stable forms of juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) lesions. This study also aims to better define the natural history of this condition in its most commonly identified pathological state (as a stable lesion) following surgical intervention by determining the rate of radiographic healing and any need for secondary surgery.
