Osteochondral Lesions

Description

This video transcript discusses the management of symptomatic non-displaced osteochondral lesions, particularly highlighting the differences in treatment approaches between children, adolescents, and adults. It notes that conservative management, which involves the use of a brace and protected weight-bearing, tends to be more effective for younger patients. In contrast, adults may require surgical intervention if there is an unstable cartilage fragment or if conservative treatment has not yielded results within three to six months.
