title: Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Humeral Capitellum Associated with a Large Subchondral Bone Cyst: Two Cases Report.
abstract: We report two rare cases of osteochondral dissecans of the humeral capitellum, each associated with a large subchondral cyst. The procedure employed for reconstruction of the massive bone defect yielded excellent clinical and radiological outcomes in both cases, and therefore seems promising for treatment of osteochondritis dissecans.
