About this trial
The Cohort is a multi-site prospective data collection study that will enroll any patient with diagnosis of knee OCD (confirmed by a standard of care x-ray or MRI). Patients will be followed for up to the next 50 years of their lives to study courses of care, disease progression, treatment/surgical options/results, and specific sports-related outcomes in athletic patients. Subjects will complete quality of life surveys as part of the Cohort. Course of care will not be affected.
