We report the cases of 15-year-old male fraternal twins with bilateral osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum in the absence of syndromic features. At the time of presentation, they had been actively engaged in competitive rhythmic gymnastics for 3 years. Both patients had chronic symptoms in the right elbow, and both underwent arthroscopic evaluation and management.
The cases of these 2 patients provide evidence to support the theory that the etiology of OCD may have a genetic background.
我们报告了一对15岁的男性异卵双胞胎病例,他们患有双侧肱骨小头剥脱性骨软骨炎(OCD),且无综合征特征。在就诊时,他们已经积极参加竞技艺术体操3年了。两名患者右肘均有慢性症状,均接受了关节镜评估和治疗。
这两名患者的病例为支持OCD病因可能具有遗传背景这一理论提供了证据。
