Clinical and radiographic findings, treatment, and outcome in cattle with osteochondrosis: 29 cases (1986-1996).

Abstract

Osteochondrosis in cattle is often associated with lameness or degenerative joint disease. Conservative management does not result in a favorable clinical prognosis for long-term, lameness-free survival, and more studies need to be completed to evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment of osteochondrosis in cattle.
