However, preoperative predictors of suboptimal postoperative outcomes remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose\/Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes after OAT for capitellar OCD and identify preoperative risk factors associated with suboptimal outcomes. They hypothesized that radiographic indicators of disease severity, including preoperative proximal migration of the radial head, lesion size, and lateral wall disruption, would be associated with suboptimal postoperative clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The records of adolescent athletes who underwent OAT for capitellar OCD with a minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical outcomes included elbow range of motion (ROM) and Timmerman-Andrews (T-A) score. A suboptimal outcome was defined as a postoperative T-A score &lt;160. Preoperative radiographs were used to measure proximal migration of the radial head relative to the coronoid process, hypertrophy of the radial head, OCD lesion area, and a 5-grade lateral wall disruption classification; measurement reliability was assessed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of a suboptimal outcome, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cutoff value for proximal migration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 69 elbows (mean age, 13.6 years; mean follow-up, 48 months) were included. ROM and T-A scores improved significantly after OAT, and all athletes returned to any sports. Of these, 50 elbows (72%) achieved good outcomes, whereas 19 (28%) had suboptimal outcomes. Preoperative proximal migration was significantly greater in the suboptimal outcome group compared with the good outcome group (mean, 2.1 \u00b1 2.3 vs 0.5 \u00b1 1.7 mm;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .002), as were lesion area (mean, 70 \u00b1 16 vs 58 \u00b1 20 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .02) and lateral wall disruption grade (median, 5 vs 3;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .01). On multivariate analysis, proximal migration of the radial head was the only independent predictor of a suboptimal outcome (adjusted OR, 1.47 per 1-mm increase; 95% CI, 1.03-2.09;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .033).

Preoperative proximal migration of the radial head is an independent predictor of a suboptimal postoperative outcome. A value &gt;2.2 mm may indicate advanced radiocapitellar incongruity, a condition in which OAT may be less effective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465261469691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T12:58:06Z","timestamp":1786021086000},"page":"2766-2775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preoperative Proximal Migration of the Radial Head as an Independent Predictor of Suboptimal Outcomes After Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation for Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans: A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9710-9754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hideki","family":"Kamijo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine &amp; Joint Center, Funabashi Orthopaedic Hospital, Funabashi, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norimasa","family":"Takahashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine &amp; Joint Center, Funabashi Orthopaedic Hospital, Funabashi, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9530-5269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keisuke","family":"Matsuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Funabashi Orthopaedic Bancho Clinic, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daisuke","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine &amp; Joint Center, Funabashi Orthopaedic Hospital, Funabashi, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8581-0664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taro","family":"Akiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kashiwa Municipal Hospital, Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Sugaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Sports &amp; Orthopaedic Clinic, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0283-6747","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Itaru","family":"Kawashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yachiyo Hospital, Anjo, Aichi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546509354969"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"156","article-title":"Osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow.
