RHLs were seen in one-third of elbows with capitellar OCD. Lesions predominantly occurred in the anterior RH in patients with more advanced capitellar lesions. Short-term clinical follow-up suggested greater improvement in range of motion and resolution of mechanical symptoms for patients with RHLs who were treated with OATS than with drilling.
