Key Steps in Arthroscopic Treatment of Capitellum OCD With BioCartilage

1. Evaluation of the anterior compartment of the elbow for loose bodies

2. Use of an inferior posterior-lateral portal for optimal visualization of the OCD lesion

3. Removal of necrotic bone from the base of the OCD lesion

4. Creation of vertical stable margins on the periphery of the OCD lesion

5. Percutaneous perpendicular entry of a 4.5-mm K-wire for marrow stimulation

6. Adequate drying of the joint by use of controlled suction and cotton-tipped applicators

7. Smoothing of the BioCartilage just below the chondral margins

8. Superior percutaneous entry of the fibrin glue applicator
