| Abstract: | The diagnosis and treatment of two cases of osteochondritis dissecans affecting the lateral ridge of the trochlea of the tibial tarsal bone is described. Radiographs taken in medio-lateral and oblique projections proved to be the most valuable for diagnosis. The lesions were treated surgically via a limited cranio-lateral approach. The lameness improved following surgery. |
