Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staffPain is the most common symptom of osteochondritis dissecans. The pain may be triggered by physical activity — for example, knee pain that occurs while walking up stairs, climbing a hill or playing sports.
Signs and symptoms of osteochondritis dissecans include:
- Pain
- A "locking" of your joint — the joint "sticks" and won't move through its full range of motion
- A feeling that your joint is "giving way" or weakening
- Decreased joint movement — an inability to straighten your leg or arm fully, or a limited range of motion
- Limping
- Swelling and tenderness of the skin over your joint
- Stiffness after resting
