Although its etiology is multifactorial, its presence has been frequently attributed to repetitive microtrauma because of physical activity on the affected joints. This paper is a first step in the study of this pathology in human remains from Patagonia Austral, as it has not been systematically studied. The objective is to analyze the variability of the OCD in a sample of 26 hunter-gatherer adult individuals that lived in this region during the Middle-Late Holocene (ca. 5200-70 years BP) and its possible relationship with age, sex, diet, chronology and region of origin. The association between its expression and the patterns of physical activity developed in accordance with the economic practices, is discussed. The overall prevalence observed in this sample (42,3%), higher than that reported for current populations, suggests that physical activity would have played an important role in the development of OCD in at least part of the affected individuals. La osteocondritis disecante (OCD) es una patología que afecta el cartílago articular y el hueso subcondral en las epífisis articulares de humanos y otros mamíferos. A pesar de que su etiología es multifactorial, la presencia de esta lesión ha sido frecuentemente atribuida a microtraumatismos reiterados por los efectos de la actividad física sobre las articulaciones afectadas. Este trabajo involucra un primer paso en el estudio de esta patología en restos humanos de Patagonia Austral, la cual no fue analizada en forma sistemática. El objetivo es analizar la variabilidad de la OCD en un conjunto de restos humanos de 26 individuos adultos pertenecientes a sociedades de cazadores-recolectores de esta región durante el Holoceno medio-tardío (ca. 5200-70 años AP) y su posible relación con la edad, el sexo, la dieta, la cronología y el geográfica de procedencia. Se discute si su expresión está vinculada con los patrones de actividad física desarrollados por los grupos, en función de las prácticas económicas llevadas a cabo. La prevalencia general observada en esta muestra (42,3%), mayor a la reportada para poblaciones actuales, sugiere que la actividad física habría desempeñado un rol importante en el desarrollo de la OCD en al menos parte de las personas afectadas.
