Orthop Traumatol Surg Res. 2016 Apr;102(2):247-50. doi: 10.1016/j.otsr.2015.12.013. Epub 2016 Feb 17.

Abstract

The authors describe a surgical mosaicplasty technique, with an anterior surgical dislocation approach without trochanterotomy, for osteochondritis dissecans of the hip. A graft was taken from the lateral condyle of the knee. Two adolescents underwent this procedure with good results. No osteonecrosis was observed at the longest follow-up. Mosaicplasty is a useful treatment method for small osteochondritis dissecans (<2cm(2)).

Keywords: Adolescent; Hip; Mosaicplasty; Osteochondritis dissecans.
