Video Summary
Scott Steinman discusses elbow osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), highlighting a Japanese study finding a 2% incidence in young baseball players, often without symptoms. Early detection via ultrasound and MRI enables effective non-operative treatment, with 54% healing after about eight months. Surgical options include arthroscopic debridement, which shows good short-term results and fewer complications than osteochondral autograft transplantation, though autografts are effective for large lesions. Novel arthroscopic portals improve lesion access. Long-term outcomes emphasize early intervention and activity modification to prevent functional impairment. Overall, early diagnosis and tailored treatment yield the best results in managing elbow OCD.
