This question isn't very clear but if you mean will it make it better than it was before you got osteochondritis dissecans then no, it wont, I had surgery for it 5 years ago ( I'm 16 ), it hasn't caused me much trouble, though in bad weather my ankle swells up so i tend not to be able to walk on it and i can be painful but there is definitely a big improvement from before the op.
I've just had an operation on my ankle it feels exactly the same as before, I am still is a lot of pain and its been about 6/8 months after the op!

Can you still play a sport with osteochondritis?
No, I advise you not to as I've just had an operation on my talus(ankle) and have got osteochondritis dissecans and even before that i wasn't aloud to do any physical activity. Swimming is ok but just be careful when walking if you have it in your knee or ankle as it could cause more damage.
