What is osteochondritis dissecans?
Our joints are made of different bones that meet together. They are attached with cartilage, tendons, and muscles, to help us move. Through trauma or overuse, sometimes, part of the bone becomes detached. When this happens, it can affect the blood flow to the bone, causing the tissue to die.
When this happens, the diagnosis is osteochondritis dissecans.
