	OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS - TALUS
		Osteochondritis dissecans is an injury to the talus bone of the ankle joint.
		Osteochondritis dissecans is the result of the isolated loss of blood flow to a portion of the talus bone.
		On this dome, the osteochondritis dissecansmay occur on either the medial or lateral sides of the talar dome (articular surface of the talus).

	Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Talus Homepage
		Osteochondritis dissecans is a disorder that can affect the talus bone of the ankle or other bones such as the femur in the knee and the capitellum in the elbow.
		The cause of osteochondritis dissecans of the talus is controversial.
		The diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans of the talus is made by a history of pain around the ankle that is sometimes associated with clicking or catching.

		While osteochondritis dissecans of the medial humeral condyle remains the sole cause of elbow osteoarthrosis in many canine elbows, it often occurs simultaneously with ununited coronoid process and may be difficult to distinguish from the so-called kissing lesions that occur on the medial humeral condyle in response to the latter.
		Many cases of osteochondritis dissecans of the stifle remain undetected and heal spontaneously, leaving only a scar on the affected condyle;(49) others are manifest by an acute lameness accompanied by joint effusion and obvious radiographic changes compatible with osteochondritis dissecans.
		Osteochondritis dissecans affecting the medial ridge of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone in the dog was first mentioned in the veterinary literature in 1975.

	The Knee and Shoulder Centers - [PRINTABLE] Osteochondritis Dissecans
		Osteochondritis dissecans is an unusual affliction of human joints that is not rare but also cannot be considered common.
		Osteochondritis dissecans is a truly mysterious joint disease process that was studied by 19th century pathologists and given its name because it was considered an inflammatory (the "itis" in osteochondritis refers to inflammation) condition of articular (joint surface) cartilage and the underlying (subchondral) bone.
		The second theory is that the separating osteochondral (bone and cartilage) fragment starts out as a small, anomalous (aberrant or extra), independent zone of ossification (bone formation) during early adolescent skeletal growth that simply fails to fuse (merge) with the main ossification center as the bone matures.

		Osteochondritis dessicans is a condition of uncertain, multifactorial etiology which is often found unexpectedly on x-rays of the knee joints when investigation is being completed for other reasons.
		Osteochondritis dessicans occurs in juvenile and adult populations, often in the absence of any history of trauma.
		In fact, ostochondritis dessicans is different than an osteochondral fracture, which is a traumatic joint injury consisting of the shearing off of bone (osteo), accompanied by its articular cartilage (chondral).

		The involvement of several joints or the appearance of osteochondritis dissecans in several family members may indicate that the disorder is inherited.
		If spontaneous healing doesn't occur, cartilage eventually separates from the diseased bone and a fragment breaks loose into the knee joint, causing locking of the joint, weakness, and sharp pain.
		If cartilage fragments have not broken loose, a surgeon may fix them in place with pins or screws that are sunk into the cartilage to stimulate a new blood supply.

		Chondromalacia related to injury occurs when a blow to the knee cap tears off either a small piece of cartilage or a large fragment containing a piece of bone (osteochondral fracture).
		In rare cases when the syndrome doesn't disappear, surgery may be necessary to split the tendon so it isn't stretched too tightly over the bone.
		Lack of a blood supply can cause bone to break down (avascular necrosis).* The involvement of several joints or the appearance of osteochondritis dissecans in several family members may indicate that the disorder is inherited.
