Figure 6.  Xray (A) and MRI (B) views of a focal OCD (Osteochondritis Dessicans) lesion.  The red arrows indicate the region of bone that has no blood supply and has died.  The blue arrow demonstrates intact articular cartilage overlying the region of dead bone.  If treated early, the underlying bone can frequently be saved before the cartilage over the bone detaches or dies.
