Welcome to OrthoVetInfo!
I created this space so I can share my experience and insights as a veterinary orthopedic surgeon,
offering clear and approachable veterinary orthopedics content that hopefully can be valuable
for owners and veterinary professionals with similar interests.
Retained ulnar cartilage cores (RCC)
Retained ulnar cartilage cores (RCC) is a developmental disorder in young, large and giant breed dogs characterized by a failure of endochondral ossification in the distal ulnar physis, leading to physeal calcification arrest, restricted growth of forelimb and consequently angular limb deformities
Osteochondrosis
Osteochondrosis (OC) is a focal disturbance of endochondral ossification due to a failure of blood supply to the epiphyseal growth cartilage. Osteochondrosis (OC) may develop into osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) if the joint cartilage fractures. There is still confusion regarding the disease’s definition, etiology and pathogenesis. clinical signs are lameness and joint pain.
