Results of Bone Peg Grafting for Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans in Adolescent Baseball Players

Conclusion: BPG enabled 91% of COCD patients with ICRS OCD I or II to return to preoperative baseball abilities within 12 months. Integration of the grafted site may continue until at least 24 months postoperatively. An ICRS OCD I or II lesion with central positioning and/or occupying <75% of the size of the capitellum in the coronal plane is a good indication for BPG.
