Panner's disease is an osteochondrosis of the capitellar ossification centre. The disease was first described in 1927 by the Danish radiologist Hans Jessen Panner, who observed radiographic changes in the capitulum of a young adult similar to those previously described in cases of osteochondrosis of the hip epiphysis (Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease).
