Abstrakt: Purpose: This study aims to examine whether Pridie drilling, a form of bone marrow stimulation, can expedite the healing process and enable a faster return to sports activity in patients with knee Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of Pridie drilling in stable OCD lesions that do not respond to non-operative treatment, by evaluating the absence of painful symptoms 6 months after the procedure. Secondary objectives include evaluating radiographic reconstruction 6 months post-surgery and determining the time it takes to resume sports participation.
Materials and Methods: This single-center retrospective study included all cases of stable OCD in the knee that underwent anterograde chondral drilling between 2008 and 2020. Diagnosis of OCD was established using knee radiographs, and the surgical technique involved multiple multidirectional subchondral drilling. Treatment efficacy was defined by the absence of painful symptoms for 6 months postoperatively.
Results: A total of 41 knees were included in the study, and no complications were observed before or after surgery. At 6 months postoperatively, 32 knees (78%) showed complete resolution of symptoms. Complete radiographic reconstruction was observed in 66% of cases. Asymptomatic patients at 6 months returned to sports activity of similar intensity to that practiced previously in an average time of 7.9 months; while, patients who were symptomatic at 6 months returned in an average time of 16.5 months.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence supporting the short-term efficacy of anterograde chondral drilling in stable lesion of OCD in children and adolescents after failed functional treatment.
Level of Evidence: Level III (retrospective cohort study).
