- NCT06462040Recruiting
Dissolving Screws for Loose Knee Cartilage
This study follows patients who have a loose piece of bone and cartilage in their knee and are having it fixed with special screws that dissolve over time. The goal is to see how well the knee heals and works after surgery.
Bologna, BolognaAges 12–35 - NCT02771496Recruiting
Study of knee cartilage injury diagnosis using imaging
This study looks at people with a specific knee cartilage problem called osteochondritis dissecans (or a focal cartilage defect). It uses X-rays or MRI scans to confirm the diagnosis, which helps researchers understand the condition and how it’s identified.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04364334Recruiting
Knee care registry for people treated at UMC Utrecht
This study is a “registry,” meaning researchers collect information about your knee care over time. It may help improve understanding and care for people who receive knee treatment at UMC Utrecht.
UtrechtAges Any age - NCT03588975RecruitingPhase 3
MACI transplant for knee cartilage defects in ages 10 to 17
This Phase 3 study tests whether a cartilage repair transplant called MACI (a lab-made cartilage-like tissue) can improve symptoms in young people with knee cartilage damage. It compares a surgery approach chosen for each person, aiming to reduce pain and improve knee function.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT05332288Recruiting
Observing treatment outcomes for a knee cartilage defect
This observational study follows people with a specific knee cartilage injury from osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) to see how they do after standard care and rehab. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what changes happen over follow-up.
BolognaAges 15–40 - NCT02664337Enrolling by invitation
Study of what people prefer in joint and fracture treatments
This study asks patients (or parents/caregivers, for children’s injuries) about their preferences for different treatment options for certain joint and fracture problems. It may help clinicians choose care plans that match what patients value.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteochondritis dissecans?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6 recruiting osteochondritis dissecans studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a osteochondritis dissecans trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a osteochondritis dissecans trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
