Variation in stress distribution patterns across the radial head fovea in osteochondritis dissecans: predictive factors in radiographic findings

The objectives of this study were to assess subchondral bone density in the radial head fovea of patients with OCD and to evaluate stress distribution in the radiocapitellar joint. The relationship between radiologic classification and stress distribution, according to multivariate ordinal regression analysis, was also investigated.
