Abstract:
We report the arthroscopic drilling of classical lesions of osteochondritis dissecans in 11 knees in 10 children with at least six months history and no sign of clinical or radiological improvement. There were eight boys and two girls and the average age at operation was 12 years 11 months. Relief of pain was noticed within days of operation; radiological healing occurred within 12 months in nine of the 11 knees.
