Abstract
Double contrast knee arthrography is an invaluable adjunct in the evaluation of patients with osteochondritis dissecans. The cartilage overlying the osteochondritic defect can be evaluated and unsuspected meniscal pathology accurately diagnosed. In our series, there were three unsuspected medial meniscal tears, diagnosed by arthrography and confirmed at surgery. The location of the osteochondritic defect was atypical in all four of our female patients.Keywords
