Retro Versus Trans Articular Drilling for Juvenile Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to compare the functional, clinical and radiographic outcomes
associated with trans-articular drilling versus retro-articular drilling, two commonly
employed techniques of operative treatment for stable forms of juvenile osteochondritis
dissecans (JOCD) lesions. This study also aims to better define the natural history of this
condition in its most commonly identified pathological state (as a stable lesion) following
surgical intervention by determining the rate of radiographic healing and any need for
secondary surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of JOCD,
- Lesion located on the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle,
- Lesion considered stable based on MRI,
- Patient deemed skeletally immature based on MRI,
- Completed a course of conservative therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant concomitant knee pathology (AVN, fracture, inflammatory arthritis, ACL
tear, discoid/meniscal tear, etc.)
- Lesion healed sufficiently and surgery is not recommended,
- Prior surgery on the affected knee,
- Diagnosis of metabolic bone disorder (e.g. osteogenesis imperfecta),
- Diagnosis of sickle cell disease,
- History of prolonged corticosteroid or chemotherapy treatment,
