Abstract

Various procedures, such as arthroscopic debridement, osteochondral transplantation, and bone plug fixation, have been described for the treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum. However, the use of hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactate acid (HA/PLLA) thread pins to fix the osteochondral fragment in an OCD lesion is a recent development. Adolescent throwing athletes would return to preinjury levels of function after arthroscopic osteochondral fragment fixation using HA/PLLA thread pins. Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Enrolled in this prospective cohort study were 18 adolescent baseball players (mean age, 14.2 years; range 12-16, years) with elbow OCD who underwent arthroscopic fragment fixation with HA/PLLA thread pins between 2006 and 2009. All patients were affected on their dominant side. Plain radiographs taken before surgery showed an open physis in 13 patients (72%) and a closed physis in 5 patients (28%). During surgery, the condition of the OCD lesion was evaluated by use of the International Cartilage Research Society (ICRS) classification system; there were 5 grade II, 11 grade III, and 2 grade IV cases. Outcomes were assessed after 3 years (mean, 39 months; range, 36-50 months). Elbow functi...Continue Reading
