Osteochondritis dissecans - what does this mean

Osteochondritis dissecans is a condition in which a fragment of bone and cartilage separates from the end of a bone due to a lack of blood supply. it most commonly affects the knee joint, but can also occur in other joints, such as the elbow, ankle, shoulder, or hip.

What happens during the disease - osteochondritis dissecans

В норме суставные поверхности костей покрыты плотным, упругим и гладким гиалиновым хрящом. Это позволяет костям беспрепятственно скользить друг относительно друга при движениях. При рассекающем остеохондрите в небольшом сосуде, питающем участок кости, возникает тромбоз. Питание расположенного над этим участком хряща нарушается, формируется зона асептического некроза.

Со временем некротизированный хрящ отслаивается и попадает в сустав, образуя «суставную мышь» - свободно лежащее внутрисуставное тело, которое перемещается по суставу и, попадая между поверхностями костей при движениях, может вызывать блокады. Поврежденный участок теряет свою гладкость, становясь причиной перегрузок и дальнейшей травматизации сустава. В результате может развиться остеоартроз.
