Abstract

Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) may be complicated by osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), most commonly reported in the knee, but involvement of the elbow is very rare. Optimal treatment for MED-associated elbow OCD and treatment outcome have not been established. This report describes the case of an adolescent male patient with elbow OCD treated by arthroscopic drilling at a previous clinic. Progression of osteoarthritis and radial head subluxation were observed. Resection of the osteophytes and modified wedge osteotomy of the lateral condyle were then performed, and a favorable result was obtained by decompression and sufficient congruency of the radiohumeral joint.
