Data presented as numerator/denominator (frequency) or mean (± SD); * per methods section, groups correspond to nonoperative management, unilateral lesions advanced to surgery, bilateral lesions managed either conservatively or surgically, and patients who underwent multiple procedures for the same lesion; phenotypically nonpotent = conservative + unilateral groups; phenotypically potent = bilateral + multiple groups; OR and MD calculated for phenotypically severe group as compared with nonsevere group;. § p values correspond to intergroup differences calculated by Fisher’s exact/chi square text or Student’s t-test, as indicated; immediate family includes parents and/or siblings; does not account for those with/without a history of OCD; one patient in the unilateral group had positive immediate family history and a positive extended family history. Therefore, this patient was counted twice in each of these individual groups, but only once in the combined group; OCD = osteochondritis dissecans; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; MD = mean difference.
