A Staged Arthroscopic Approach to Fixation of Unstable Osteochondritis Dissecans in the Medial Femoral Condyle of the Knee Using Nonabsorbable Fixation Screws

Osteochondritis dissecans is a focal lesion of articular cartilage that can result in fragment instability with progression of early osteoarthritis. Regarding the knee joint, salvage of an unstable lesion can be achieved using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation via a 2-stage process. The f...
