ÖzetEpifiz kemiğinin yalnız periferal segmentini ilgilendiren bir tip epifiz nekrozu olan osteokondritis dissekan ın etyolojisi bugün tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Çeşitli yazarlar travmanın, aseptik nekrozun ve hereditenin etken olacağını savunmaktadırlar. Takip ettiğimiz bir vakamızda sol diz medialinde kapalı sekestr halinde olan osteokondritis dissekan bir hafta sonra eklem boşluğuna düşmüş olarak tesbit edildi. İlginç gördüğümüz bu vakanın takdimini uygun bulduk.
