Physical therapy in Hazle Township for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a problem that affects the knee, mostly at the end of the big bone of the thigh (the femur). A joint surface damaged by OCD doesn't heal naturally. Even with surgery, OCD usually leads to future joint problems, including degenerative arthritis and osteoarthritis.
This guide will help you understand:
- where in the knee the condition develops
- how doctors diagnose the problem
- what treatment options are available
