An orthopedic surgeon, trained to treat bones, joints, and muscles, who specializes in shoulder and knee problems.

A patient under 18 years old.

Procedures performed on joints, requiring incisions and manipulation of bones or ligaments.

The percentage of a doctor's practice dedicated to serving a specific patient group.

The body part that is the focus of surgical intervention, e.g., shoulder, knee, hip.

A medical specialty focused on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

A subspecialty of orthopedics that focuses on the musculoskeletal system of children and adolescents.

A medical field focused on the health and development of children from birth to adulthood.

A formal training program in a specific medical specialty, lasting several years.

Training specifically designed to enhance expertise in a particular area of a medical specialty.

A period of supervised clinical training that follows medical school and prepares physicians for their chosen specialty.

A structured learning experience where medical students gain practical experience by observing and assisting with patient care in different medical specialties.

A set of established guidelines for medical treatments and procedures, considered the best and most appropriate care for a particular condition.

A condition affecting the knee joint, often due to injury, which can lead to cartilage damage and pain.

A type of knee surgery to replace the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components.

The progression of joint damage over time, often leading to arthritis.

Early stages of Osteochondral Defect are likely to be treated conservatively, while later stages often require surgery.

Patients with later-stage Osteochondral Defects often have higher rates of developing post-traumatic arthritis that may require earlier knee replacements.

Patients with Osteochondral Defects may require knee replacements at a younger age compared to those without the condition.

The likelihood of requiring knee replacement for a patient with late-stage Osteochondral Defect (stage III or IV) is similar to that of patients without OCD, but they experience it at a younger age.

The timeline of progression for Osteochondral Defects can vary widely, and the timing of knee arthroplasty depends on individual cases.

The legal case filed against Touchstone Medical Imaging, LLC and other defendants by Cicily John and Tony John, individually and as parents and next friends of their minor child, S.T.

The lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas.

The Plaintiffs in the case are Cicily John and Tony John, both acting individually and as parents and next friends of their minor child, S.T.

The Defendants in the case are Touchstone Medical Imaging, LLC; Touchstone Medical Imaging, LLC, d/b/a Touchstone Imaging Richardson; Touchstone Imaging of Mesquite, LP, d/b/a Touchstone Imaging Richardson; BTDI JV, LLP, d/b/a Touchstone Imaging Richardson; Richardson Pediatric Associates; Gregory C. Downing, MD; GDX, PA; and Norah K. Randles, MD.

The deposition was taken remotely via Zoom videoconference on December 16, 2021, from 3:33 p.m., with Thomas DeBerardino, MD, attending remotely from his location in San Antonio, Texas.

The deposition of Thomas DeBerardino, MD, was conducted at the instance of the Defendants, meaning they requested it.

A type of bone lesion characterized by progressive changes in its appearance on x-rays. It starts as a minimally sclerotic area, becomes more defined, and the host bone also becomes more defined over time. The lesion itself doesn't grow larger, but it can fragment.

A condition where the cartilage cap covering a bone lesion becomes thicker and larger due to irritation. This thickening can change the shape of the cartilage cap, making it difficult to repair.

Thomas DeBerardino, MD, was duly sworn before giving his deposition, making it a formal and legal statement.

The deposition was reported by Christi Sanford, a certified court reporter, and transcribed by Corona Court Reporting, Inc.

Cartilage does not have its own blood supply and relies on the joint fluid to receive nutrients. This makes cartilage more vulnerable to damage and difficult to heal.

A piece of bone that has become detached from the main bone structure. It no longer receives blood flow from the main bone.

Bone is a vascular tissue, meaning it needs a blood supply to grow and heal. When a fragment of bone is detached, it loses its blood supply and can't grow.

The cyclic loading of the detached bone fragment can lead to further fragmentation over time. This irregular loading is not supported by the host bone, causing stress and damage.

The total volume of the OCD lesion remains relatively constant. It is the shape and integrity of the lesion that change over time.

Orthopedists often notice the thickened cartilage cap when repairing OCD lesions. This can make the repair process more challenging.

A small, bony bump that forms on the tibial tubercle, the bony prominence below the kneecap. It is usually caused by repeated stress and inflammation due to overuse or powerful muscle contractions.

Inflammation and pain in the tibial tubercle (the bony prominence below the kneecap), usually in adolescents. It is caused by repetitive stress and inflammation at the site where the patellar tendon connects to the tibia.

X-rays are not always necessary for diagnosing Osgood-Schlatter's disease. If the pain is isolated, focused on the anterior part of the tibial tubercle (the bony bump below the kneecap), and about the size of a quarter, it is likely Osgood-Schlatter's.

The tibial tubercle is the bony prominence below the kneecap. It is where the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone, attaches.

The apophysis is the growth plate of a bone, where new bone is formed during childhood and adolescence. It can be injured by excessive force, such as from a strong pull on the patellar tendon.

X-rays can reveal an Osgood ossicle, a small, bony fragment that forms on the tibial tubercle. It can appear as one, two, or three separate pieces (bipartite or tripartite), and can be displaced from its original location.

Osgood-Schlatter's disease can sometimes progress to a point where the Osgood ossicle, a small bony fragment, breaks off from the tibial tubercle.

Osgood-Schlatter's disease typically requires rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce inflammation and pain. It usually takes 6-8 weeks for the injury to heal fully.
