Osteochondritis is a painful condition where the cartilage and bone in a joint is inflamed.[1]
“Osteochondritis” often refers to osteochondritis dissecans (sometimes spelled dessecans, and abbreviated “OCD”). The term “dissecans” refers to the “creation of a flap of cartilage that further dissects away from its underlying subchondral attachments (dissecans)”. [2]
Another type of osteochondritis is Scheuermann’s disease[3], which affects the spine.
