Abstract

Two patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the hip were operated on and their case histories are presented. The relatively large foci were situated on the weight-bearing surface of the joint and the fragments were fixed using transplants of cortical bone. In both cases the focus healed, and the symptoms were relieved. At follow-up six and nine years later respectively, the clinical results were good and no signs of osteoarthritis had as yet developed.
