A osteocondrose é uma falha na ossificação subcondral com predileção pelo esqueleto imaturo e cuja etiologia permanece indefinida. Pode afetar os côndilos femorais (geralmente o medial), e o acometimento é, na maioria, unilateral. Os autores chamam a atenção desse diagnóstico, geralmente tardio por sua ocorrência infrequente, e relatam o caso raro de uma criança com osteocondrose bilateral de côndilos femorais laterais, ressaltando que, até o presente momento, apenas um caso semelhante foi descrito na literatura.Osteochondrosis is an injury on subchondral ossification with predominance of immature skeleton and whose etiology remains unknown. It may affect the femoral condyles (usually the medial condyle) and the involvement is mostly unilateral. The authors draw the attention to this usually late diagnosis due to its infrequent occurrence and report a child's rare case of bilateral osteochondrosis on lateral femoral condyles, stressing that just one similar case has been described in the orthopaedic literature up to the present time.
