Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a joint disorder in which the bone beneath the cartilage dies due to reduced blood flow. This can cause the bone and cartilage to loosen, leading to pain, swelling, and limited joint movement. While it can occur in various joints, the knee is most commonly affected, followed by the elbow and […]

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and facilitate a wide range of motion.
