Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Osteochondritis dissecans of the proximal aspect of the medial trochlear ridge of the talus was found to be causing lameness and tarsocrural joint effusion in a male Limousin calf. Arthroscopy via a dorsolateral approach was unsuccessful in revealing the lesion in this calf. A caudomedial arthrotomy or medial malleolar osteotomy, which can be used to gain access to lesions of the medial trochlear ridge in dogs, was not attempted. The lameness gradually worsened, and the calf was slaughtered.
