Presentation
We report a 34-year-old man who presented with ulnar wrist pain, painful click, and locking during forearm rotation following a motorcycle accident. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When present, the source of the loose body must be sought for as there may be concomitant lesions in the presence of the intra-articular loose body. [jocr.co.in]
Ultimately, the link for most patients, if present, is probably minor. Pathophysiology Once a lesion is present, it typically progresses through 4 stages unless appropriately treated. [emedicine.medscape.com]
If enhancing granulation tissue is present, then the fragment is assumed to be separated and unstable by some authors 4,. [radsource.us]

Patients with an intra-articular loose body can typically present with persistent shoulder pain, which is similarly reported in our patient with both persistent pain as well as shoulder instability due to the intra-articular loose body and Bankart lesion [jocr.co.in]
Not only will patients experience chronic knee pain from loose bodies symptoms, but they will be able to feel this loose piece of bone or cartilage. At first, the loose piece may not be painful. [drburkeortho.com]
Symptoms include pain and swelling of the specific area. While it’s most common in athletes like dancers and gymnasts, it can occur in non-athletes as well. Through the use of ankle arthroscopy, the source of the pain can be removed. [scrubbing.in]
- Inflammation
Other causes include fractures, trauma, bone and cartilage inflammation and benign tumors of the synovial membrane. [shouldersandknees.com]

Additional findings, including mobility of loose bodies, presence of joint effusion, and synovial proliferation, can also be assessed with US. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Upon physical examination of a patient with elbow OCD, joint effusion, crepitus, and generalized tenderness may be noted. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pain in the elbow is the most common complaint and usually worsens with movement of the joint. Tenderness along the radiocapitellor joint occurs in 80 to 90% of patients. Swelling of the joint is also present. [aspetar.com]

Evaluation The clinical presentation of anterior groin pain, episodes of locking, painful clicking, buckling, giving way, and/or persistent pain within the hip during activity can be associated with intra-articular loose bodies.13,23,24 The diagnosis [arthritisresearch.us]
Workup
CT-scans are increasingly used in the preoperative workup. A CT-classification was therefore introduced in 1993, resembling the above classification, with stage V representing a radiolucent defect [ 27 ]. [em-consulte.com]
Treatment
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]
Therefore, cyst treatment is not an issue. As the lesion deepens, treatment options vary. [podiatrytoday.com]
Arthroscopic treatment is a useful minimally invasive option to remove the large fragment of intra-articular loose body and also repair the Bankart lesion in the same setting. [jocr.co.in]
Conservative treatment with a splint and oral analgesics for 3 months failed. During DRUJ arthroscopy, osteoarthritic changes were found, and the loose body was resected using DRUJ arthroscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
[…] are not likely to heal; - bad prognosis if frag detaches, leaving defect in wt bearing region; - classification: (from Clanton and DeLee (1982)) - I : depressed osteochondral fracture; - II : osteochondral fragment attached by an osseous bridge; - III [wheelessonline.com]
Natural History & Prognosis The literature on this condition contains no randomised controlled clinical trials for either surgical or non-surgical interventions for OCD of the knee. [thekneedoc.co.uk]
The overall prognosis is usually dependent upon the extent of underlying degeneration rather than the presence or absence of a loose body. [arthritisresearch.us]
Prognosis worsens with age and physis closure. Therefore, the goal of management of juvenile OCD is to promote resolution of the lesion before physis closure. [aafp.org]
Therefore, the size, width and depth, of the cartilage fissure is an important thing to assess because it can ultimately determine the prognosis of being able to return back to normal activities or if one would need to adapt their activities going forward [drrobertlaprademd.com]
Etiology
Etiology The true etiology of osteochondritis dissecans has been the source of enthusiastic debate for decades. The etiology has been described as traumatic, ischemic, idiopathic, and hereditary. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology A wide range of conditions can lead to the development of intra-articular loose bodies: osteochondral fractures osteochondritis dissecans pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) osteoarthritis or severe degenerative disease intra-articular fracture [radiopaedia.org]
It is a general term used to characterize the pathology encountered at the joint surface with no consideration of etiology. [radsource.us]

Epidemiology Frequency Prevalence In the United States, the overall prevalence of osteochondritis dissecans is not known. However, in the femoral condyles, OCD has a prevalence of approximately 6 cases per 10,000 men and 3 cases per 10,000 women. [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] are two main types of OCD: the adult form, which occurs after the physis closes, and the juvenile form, which occurs in patients with an open epiphyseal plate. 3 Many researchers believe that the adult form is undiagnosed persistent juvenile OCD. 4 Epidemiology [aafp.org]

Our understanding of the pathophysiology of OCD has not advanced much over the past 100 years. [aafp.org]
Pathophysiology Once a lesion is present, it typically progresses through 4 stages unless appropriately treated. Stage I consists of a small area of compression of subchondral bone. Stage II consists of a partially detached osteochondral fragment. [emedicine.medscape.com]
