Osteochondritis dissecans of the lateral ridge of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone in the dog

Abstract

ABSTRACT The diagnosis and treatment of two cases of osteochondritis dissecans affecting the lateral ridge of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone is described. Radiographs taken in medio‐lateral and oblique projections proved to be the most valuable for diagnosis. The lesions were treated surgically via a limited cranio‐lateral approach. The lameness improved following surgery.
