“…The most important finding of the present study was the possible correlation between femoral condyle bone contusion and OCD development. Although the aetiology of OCD has not fully been elucidated, it is commonly accepted that repetitive microtrauma may play a significant role in the development of this disorder [4–8, 13, 22]. One hypothesis for a traumatic incident causing an OCD involves the tibial eminence causing a direct contusion on the medial femoral condyle [7].…”

“…Although the aetiology of OCD may still be multifactorial, suggested aetiological factors have essentially been divided into several categories, including trauma, vascular, and hereditary [3–5, 7, 22]. Inflammatory and vascular theories have fallen out of favour, as histopathology studies have not shown consistent signs of either inflammation or large‐scale ischaemia.…”

“…Trauma, both acute and repetitive events, as well as genetic factors may play a role in the development of this condition [5, 8]. Several studies have suggested traumatic incidents as potential causative factors of OCD, although the relationship between higher energy and acute traumatic events is very limited [4, 10, 14, 20].…”

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is thought to be an acquired osteochondral disorder, and its etiology may be multi-factorial. Trauma, both acute and repetitive events, has previously been proposed as a potential cause for OCD development. We present two cases of skeletally immature males who developed a symptomatic OCD lesion following a femoral condyle bone contusion. These cases suggest that an acute traumatic event may lead to the development of OCD of the knee.
