Abstract

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum is a disorder affecting mainly boys between the ages of 12 and 15 years. The exact etiology of OCD is not clear, but it is believed that repetitive trauma is the primary cause. Genetic factors are thought to play a secondary role in the pathogenesis. We present 17-year-old identical twins with similar MRI and arthroscopic findings, suggesting that genetic components are involved in the etiology of OCD of the humeral capitellum.

同卵双胞胎肱骨小头解剖性骨软骨炎。

肱骨小头剥脱性骨软骨炎(OCD)是一种主要影响12至15岁男孩的疾病。强迫症的确切病因尚不清楚，但人们认为重复性创伤是主要原因。遗传因素被认为在发病机制中起次要作用。我们介绍了17岁的同卵双胞胎，具有相似的MRI和关节镜检查结果，表明遗传成分与肱骨小头强迫症的病因有关。
