Introduction[edit | edit source]
Osteochondrosis is the descriptive term given to a group of disorders affecting an ossification centre in a child or adolescent resulting in alteration of endochondral ossification. These are usually self-limited conditions that often result in activity-related pain, which can at times be disabling. Treatment is based on the severity of symptoms and commonly includes restriction of activity. Diagnosis is made by history and physical exam in conjunction with radiographic findings.[1] [2]
Examples[edit | edit source]
Osteochondrosis affect different parts of the body and are typically grouped into one of three categories based on where they occur. They can be articular, physeal, or nonarticular. The commoner examples include:
- Articular diseases occur in joint areas and include: Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (affects hip); Freiberg infraction (affects the second toe); Kienbock disease; Kohler disease (affect foot)
- The main physeal disease is Scheuermann’s disease (affects the intervertebral joints of the spinal column).
- Nonarticular diseases can affect any part of the skeleton. The most common nonarticular disease is .Osgood-Schlatter disease which affects the knee. Other include osteochondritis dissecans of the knee,osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow, Sever disease
- Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease
- Panner disease[2]
