title: A possible explanation of the pathogenesis of osteochondritis dissecans.
abstract: We present a case in which osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral femoral condyle was associated with a torn discoid lateral meniscus. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this association in the radiographic and orthopedic literature. Previous trauma is suggested to play an important role in the development of both lesions.
