Elbow OCD – The Mayo Way-Dr. Scott P. Steinmann, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the incidence and treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in the elbow. It highlights that OCD literature mostly originates from Asia, particularly Japan, and discusses the Ultratown study which showed an incidence of 2% over one year. The video emphasizes the importance of early intervention and ultrasound examination in identifying and treating the lesion before it becomes painful. Arthroscopic debridement is described as an effective treatment for partial or loose lesions, while autograft transplantation is suggested for larger lesions. The video also mentions complications and the need for continued research to improve outcomes for OCD patients.
