Objective: This article aimed to describe the use and evolution of a synthetic osteochondral resurfacing (SOR) implant in the treatment of osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) of the femoral condyle and to report the clinical, radiographic, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging outcomes of...

Objective - To develop and assess clinical outcomes for osteochondral autografting for treatment of stifle osteochondrosis (OC) in dogs. Study Design - Retrospective case series. Animals - Dogs with stifle OC (n=10). Methods - Osteochondral autografting was developed and optimized in canine...

Objective: To describe the one-month morphological appearance of autogenous osteochondral grafting in a dog with stifle osteochondrosis. Method: Osteochondral autografting was performed in one stifle of an eight-month-old dog with spontaneously occurring bilateral osteochondrosis. Result:...

Ultrasonography is a cost-effective, non-invasive technique, which can be performed in conscious dogs. It frequently contributes valuable and even crucial diagnostic information in patients with lameness attributed to the stifle joint. Within the first part of this article, technical requirements...

There are few published reports of CT findings for the diagnosis of stifle osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in the dog. This report describes the radiographic and multidetector CT (MDCT) findings of two cases with bilateral stifle osteochondrosis and OCD lesions. In both cases, radiographs did not...

A six-month-old female Labrador Retriever was presented for lameness of the left hind limb. Imaging modalities revealed an osteochondritis dissecans and the formation of a large subchondral cyst on the left medial femoral condyle. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is defined as being a disturbance of ...

Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is an abnormality of endochondral ossification of multifactorial origin that affects large breed dogs. Clinical signs begin at an early age and include lameness, pain or effusion. The diagnosis can be confirmed by radiography, CT scan or arthroscopy. Current surgical ...

The aim of the study is to standardize the methodology to achieve canine chondrocytes culture, and evaluate its implant on osteochondral defects made in the femoral trochlear sulcus of dogs, using the cellulose biosynthetic membrane (CBM) as coating. Ten healthy adult dogs without locomotor...

Objective: To describe the clinical application of osteochondral autograft transfer procedure for the treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the canine medial femoral condyle and to report clinical and force plate outcomes. Methods: Osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS^TM Arthrex, Naples...
