Research into the role of Biomechanical strain in the occurrence of osteochondrosis in the dog. Ghent University
Osteochondrosis (OC) is a multifactorial orthopaedic condition that is an important
cause of lameness in dogs.The exact pathophysiology remains unclear, but several
factors indicate that biomechanical loading of the joint plays an important role.
The general aim of this PhD was to gain more insight in the role of biomechanical
loading in the development of OC lesions in dogs, more specifically at ...
