Direct comparison of different surgical approaches in a woman with bilateral osteochondrosis dissecans of her knees: a case report

Conclusions: In cases of failed conservative treatment of osteochondrosis dissecans lesions of the knee joint surgery should be taken into consideration. Considering this case, we believe that the focus should be the preservation of the cartilaginous layer whenever possible or at least replacement with high quality replacement tissue, such as autologous chondrocyte implantation.
