Abstract:
Physical therapy management of osteochondritis dissecans can incorporate a full spectrum of conservative, nonoperative, and postoperative care. Rehabilitation interventions can vary based on factors such as the lesion characteristics, lesion location, articular cartilage involvement, skeletal maturity of the patient, presenting impairments at the time of evaluation, and concomitant injury. It is the responsibility of the rehabilitation professional to address all corresponding factors and mindfully advance the patient with a systematic and evidence-based progression to protect healing tissue and optimize outcome.
