Methods : Anti-inflammatory herbal acupuncture and acupuncture were used to treat knee pain and gait disturbance. We evaluated the patient through VAS(visual analogue scale) daily and symptoms. Results & Conclusions : After 31 days of treatment, right knee pain was decreased from VAS 10 to VAS 4, redness, burning sensation, edemaright of right knee were decreased. And the patient could walk. Oriental medicine treatment is proved to be helpful to imporve the symptoms of the osteochondritis dissecans.

  • Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is an idiopathic condition affecting the articular epiphysis. Initially described in the knee, this entity affects several other parts of the body such as the talar dome, tarsal navicular, and femoral capital epiphysis. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow is typically located in the capitellum of the humerus in young teenagers. OCD of humeral trochlea is very rare, but can be occurred among young athletes. OCD developed medial trochlea was extremely rare, especially, without any other trauma. We present a patient, pitcher with OCD in the medial trochlea of the humerus who underwent arthroscopic debridement and microfracture.

  • Objective: This is the result of a study on patients with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the talus whose pain was improved by Gamchobuja-tang (GBT). Methods: The patient took GBT for 46 days. We observed the progress of symptoms, patient compliances and side effects. Quality of life related to pain was quantified through the SF-36 and AQoL-6D questionnaires. The degree of pain in the talus and ankle areas was quantified using VAS and observed through the symptoms and frequency complained of by the patient. Results: According to the DPIDS, the patient was diagnosed with the 175 provision in Taeyangbing chestbind (大陽病 結胸). As a result, SF-36 score increased from 36 points to 74 points, and the AQoL-6D score increased from 74 points to 104 points. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of ankle pain lowered from 9 to 2. The number of days with VAS levels 1 also increased. Conclusions: Gamchobuja-tang is effective in reducing pain in the talus area caused by osteochondritis dissecans..

  • Purpose: To evaluate the ultrasonographic findings of the elbows on group screening of middle school baseball players. Materials and Methods: Ninety-three players (age: 12-15, mean 13.5 years) of four middle school baseball team were evaluated with bilateral elbow ultrasonographies in the field regardless of elbow pain. Medial and anterolateral ultrasound examination of the both elbow were performed in the field to detect any abnormalities including medial epicondylar separation or fragmentation and capitellar osteochondritis dissecans respectively. We analyzed the relationship among elbow pain, physical findings and sonographic abnormalities and the differences of sonographic abnormalities between pitchers and fielders. Results: Thirty-six of 93 (39%) players had sonographic abnormalities of elbow in dominant arm, 30 with medial epicondylar apophyseal separation or fragmentation, 2 with osteochondritis dissecans, 4 with both lesions. Twenty-nine of 37 (78%) players with elbow pain had sonographic abnormalities. On physical examination, players with medial epicondylar abnormalities had medial epicondylar tenderness (59%) and pain on valgus stress test (52%), and 5 of 6 (83%) players with osteochondritis dissecans showed flexion contracture more than $5^{\circ}$. The incidence of medial epicondylar abnormalities between pitchers and fielders was statistically not significant but osteochondritis dissecans was more prevalent in pitchers (p<0.05). Conclusion: Elbow sonography is a simple and useful screening tool in the field and also effective for early detection of medial epicondylar abnormalities or osteochondritis dissecans that could be the main causes of elbow pain in adolescent baseball players.

  • Purpose : To investigate arthroscopic simple excision for the treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the talus and to examine gross change and histological evaluation of the defect through second look arthroscopy. Materials and Methods : This study included twenty-two patients who had osteochondritis dissecans of the talus that was treated with excision of arthroscopic loose body and necrotic bone tissue, leaving bleeding bed. In 7 cases, we performed second look arthroscopic examination for the evaluation of gross change of defects and histologic findings. Final results were evaluated with two clinical and functional protocols. Average follow up period was 42 months from 14 months to 8 years. Results : Ankle-hindfoot score (100 point) was improved significantly (p<0.003). Subjective and functional scores (100 points) averaged 82 points. The defect of lesion had a tendency of filling with fibrous tissue and fibrocartilage. Although the defect was filled with fibrocartilage, specific secondary lesion was not detected through second look arthroscopic examination. Conclusion : Arthroscopic debridement was an effective method for the treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the talus without progression of secondary lesion even though the defect was filled with fibrocartilage.
