Popis:	The cause of osteochondritis dissecans of the hip is unknown. We examined the etiology based on the analysis of 6 cases, aged 11 to 25 years. Of these 6 cases, five patients had history of LCC and one had dysplasia.All X-ray revealed a dysplasia, deformity of the femoral head and a lesion in the weight bearing area. The patients made favorable progress after the spherical acetabular osteotomy in expectation of reparing the lesion. Therefore, osteochondritis dissecans seems to be caused by the disturbance of the healing biomechanism, because the overloaded forces are concentrated on an affected area of the femoral head adding to a vasucular disturbance and a repeated minor trauma.
