Objective:  Subchondral bone density distribution can be used to study joint biomechanics non-invasively. Differences in joint loading between related species can aid in the understanding of joint loading and the development of certain types of orthopaedic pathology. This study was conducted to evaluate density distribution in the subchondral bone of the talus of different species, as a parameter reflecting the long-term joint loading in the tarsocrural joint.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare differences in clinical presentations and bone lesions between dogs with medial and lateral trochlear ridge osteochondrosis.
  • It included a review of medical records from 66 dogs over 13 years and utilized CT scans to measure the characteristics of bone lesions.
  • Results showed that lateral trochlear ridge lesions were significantly larger, and affected dogs were younger and had shorter lameness durations before diagnosis compared to their medial counterparts.
