Abstract
In a family study in which thirty-four patients with osteochondritis dissecans and eighty-six of their first-degree relatives were examined clinically and radiologically, only one relative was found to have osteochondritis dissecans. No association with other forms of osteochondritis, endocrinological abnormalities or dwarfism was found.
