Abstract
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a subchondral bone abnormality, in which subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage detach from the bony bed. Multiple techniques for OCD fixation have been described, including metallic, bioabsorbable implants and biological fixation. We describe a surgical technique for OCD lesions including bony bed preparation with curettage and microfracture, anatomic reduction, and fixation using a suture anchor to provide stability and healing of the lesion.
