Description

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.
