I have OCD… not the one you’re thinking
2008 December 9
This one required some knee surgery. Have a look…
OCD stands for Osteochondritis Dissecans {1}. It’s a developmental bone lesion. Mine was right on top of the femur and the lesion broke free from the bone back in July when Sarah and I were packing up our moving truck.
So basically, I’ve had a little junk of bone floating around in my knee for the past few months. By “little”, I mean it was about 1.5cm (roughly the size of a dime!). And the lesion turned out to be 14mm.
Below there are some photos taken from the scope surgery, including the fragments removed. Ouch!
