examine vessel networks during human skeletal maturation. Understanding early …

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a poorly understood disease of the articular cartilage
and subchondral bone that was first described in 1887 as a cause of intraarticular loose …

Cartilage canal vessels in epiphyseal cartilage have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of
osteochondrosis/osteochondritis dissecans. The present study aimed to validate high field …

Background: The cause of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is unknown. Purpose: To
