Learn About Osteochondritis Dissecans

What is the definition of Osteochondritis Dissecans?
Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition that occurs when a piece of cartilage and the thin layer of bone beneath it, separates from the end of the bone. If the piece of cartilage and bone remain close to where they detached, they may not cause any symptoms. However, affected people may experience pain, weakness and/or decreased range of motion in the affected joint if the cartilage and bone travel into the joint space. In most cases, the exact underlying cause is unknown. Rarely, the condition can affect more than one family member (called familial Osteochondritis dissecans); in these cases, Osteochondritis dissecans is caused by changes in the ACAN gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
