Purpose To evaluate multiple MRI parameters in a surgical model of osteochondrosis (OC)
in goats. Methods Focal ischemic lesions of two different sizes were induced in the …

In vivo visualization of subclinical osteochondrosis (OC) lesions, characterized by necrosis
of epiphyseal growth cartilage, is necessary to clarify the pathogenesis of this disease …

Objective Identify and interrupt the vascular supply to portions of the distal femoral articular-
epiphyseal cartilage complex (AECC) in goat kids to induce cartilage necrosis, characteristic …

Purpose To use quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to investigate changes in
cartilage canals in the distal femur of juvenile goats after their surgical transection. Methods …

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 …

INTRODUCTION: Osteochondrosis (OC) is an important developmental orthopedic disease
of human and equine patients. The disease is defined as a focal disturbance in enchondral …

Osteochondrosis is an ischemic chondronecrosis of epiphyseal growth cartilage that results
in focal failure of endochondral ossification and osteochondritis dissecans at specific sites in …

Focal ischemic chondronecrosis of epiphyseal growth cartilage (EGC) during endochondral
ossification is believed to be a key early event on the pathway to osteochondrosis (OC) in …

Background Non-destructive structural evaluation of the osteochondral unit is challenging.
Here, the capability of high-field magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI) at 9.4 Tesla (T) was …

Osteochondrosis is defined as a focal disturbance in endochondral ossification. The
cartilage superficial to an osteochondrosis lesion can fracture, giving rise to fragments in …
