Comparison of the Healing Outcomes of Conservative Treatment for Stable Juvenile Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Lateral Femoral Condyle With Normal Lateral Meniscus and Incomplete Discoid Lateral Meniscus

Conclusion: No significant differences in the OCD healing rate or time to healing were found between the normal and incomplete DLM type. Therefore, treatment strategy for OCD with stable and asymptomatic incomplete DLM should be the same as that for those occurring with a normal meniscus.
