  • Title: Osteochondrosis of the equine stifle.
    Author: Moore JN, Mcilwraith CW.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1977 Feb 12; 100(7):133-6. PubMed ID: 847872.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of osteochondrosis are presented. Lesions involving the lateral trochlear ridge of the femur are demonstrated on conventional radiographs and double-contrast arthrograms. A radiographic suggestion of osteochondrosis lesions in the patella is noted. Post mortem examination of one case confirmed the presence of partially free cartilaginous flaps. Reference is made to familial tendency to osteochondrosis in man, dog, pig and horse. The significance of rapid growth rate in the pathogenesis of the condition is also discussed.
