| Abstract: | An osteochondral flap was present on the medial femoral condyle of a stifle of a six-month-old female rottweiler in which there was also a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament. The lesion was probably osteochondritis dissecans, but the possibilities of it being secondary to joint in-stability or a subchondral fracture, as has been described in people with knee ligamentous injuries, are discussed. |
