Biodegradable meniscus screw Wxation of thin Xap lesion of osteochondritis dissecans

Authors reported a young adult with Guhl's arthroscopic stage III unstable thin bony backing Xap lesion (Aichroth's extended classical type) of osteochondritis dissecans in the right knee which was successfully treated with Wxation of the unstable OCD fragment utilizing the biodegradable meniscus screws, and simultaneous multiple drilling of Wxated fragment. Based on the result, it is thought that the preservation of thin bony backing fragment lesion among the unstable OCD without extraction is possi- ble by the above surgical procedure.
