Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Capitellum: Influence of Activity on Lesion Location Within a Zone of Propensity
Compared with COCD lesions in adolescents with no history of UE sports, gymnastics participation (impact weightbearing) correlated with a higher rate of bilateral lesion formation and a more posterior (extended) lesion position. Baseball participation (resulting in valgus shear forces in the elbow) resulted in a sagittal position similar to non-UE lesions, but more lateral and with less containment.
