Bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the shoulder
Abstract:
Osteochondritis dissecans as a pathology is pre-dominantly described in the knee, elbow and ankle. Osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral head is a more uncommon reported injury. We present a case of a bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral head in a 16-year-old soccer player and an algorithm for treatment of OCD of the humeral head. To our knowledge this has never been described so specifically in literature before.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones.

Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
