    Abstract:
    Osteochondritis dissecans (OSD) of the humeral head is frequently identified as a cause of forelimb lameness in the dog. Surgical removal of the cartilaginous flap remains the preferred method of treatment in dogs demonstrating clinical signs of lameness and pain. This article reviews the pertinent literature regarding humeral head OSD, present diagnostic and therapeutic options, and surgical treatment of this condition.
