Purpose: To compare the cost-effectiveness of an initial trial of nonoperative treatment to that of early arthroscopic debridement for stable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the capitellum. Methods: A Markov Chain Monte Carlo probabilistic model was developed to evaluate the outcomes and...
