Bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the patella in an adolescent skier with patellofemoral maltracking treated with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
Vol 34, Issue 4S3, 2020
Abstract
Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans of the knee typically occurs in young athletes, and usually localizes on the medial femoral condyle. Bilateral localization is uncommon. Patellofemoral involvement is rare, mainly found in basketball and soccer players, and never related to patellofemoral congenital problems such as trochlear dysplasia. We report here the first case, to our knowledge, of bilateral juvenile osteochondritis dissecans with patellar localization in a young skier with patellofemoral maltracking and trochlear dysplasia.
