The Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans Summary of Recommendations The following is a summary of the recommendations in the AAOS’ clinical practice guideline, The Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) of the Knee. The scope of this guideline is specifically limited to Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee. This summary does not contain rationales that explain how and why these recommendations were developed nor does it contain the evidence supporting these recommendations. All readers of this summary are strongly urged to consult the full guideline and evidence report for this information. We are confident that those who read the full guideline and evidence report will also see that the recommendations were developed using systematic evidence-based processes designed to combat bias, enhance transparency, and promote reproducibility. This summary of recommendations is not intended to stand alone. Treatment decisions should be made in light of all circumstances presented by the patient.
