Osteochondrosis & OCD: Cracks in Growing Cartilage
In this BoardsCast episode, we dig into the pathology and treatment of osteochondrosis and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) — the most common developmental orthopedic disease in growing dogs.
You’ll learn:
- What actually causes failure of endochondral ossification
- Why vascular supply and cartilage thickness matter
- How OCD flaps form — and what makes them painful
- Typical lesion sites: shoulder, elbow, stifle, tarsus
- Surgical options: curettage, fragment removal, microfracture, grafting
- Prognosis by site — and when to expect arthritis despite treatment
This is a foundational lesion — not just for exams, but for real-life management of lame young dogs. Let’s break down the crack.
