    Author: Lindsell CE, Hilbert BJ, McGill CA.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1983 Oct; 60(10):291-3. PubMed ID: 6651665.
    Abstract:
    Osteochondrosis dissecans was diagnosed clinically and radiographically in 31 joints of 21 horses. The horses ranged in age from 8 months to 5 years at the time of presentation. The usual age of onset of clinical signs was 18 to 24 months. Presenting complaints included joint effusion and lameness of either gradual or sudden onset. In Thoroughbred horses, the stifle joint was the most common site of lesions and in Standardbred horses lesions occurred more commonly in the hock. In 16 of the 21 horses, the contralateral joint was radiographed and 9 of these horses had bilateral lesions. Thoroughbred horses were affected most commonly, followed by Standardbred horses. The prevalence was higher in males than females, the male: female ratio being 2.5:1.
