The osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a clinical manifestation of a condition of osteochondrosis (OC), which affects humans and animals. This is a condition resulting in endochondral ossification to change, which leads to a focal thickening of cartilage affecting usually higher pressure areas. In dogs, the OC occurs in specific anatomical locations and often involves joint surfaces that carry weight. The most frequently affected site is the flow of the proximal humeral head. However, it can also occur in the area distomedial humeral trochlea, the femoral condyles, the femoral trochlea and the medial trochlear ridge and lateral talus. This paper aims exemplifies it, through a case report, affecting the scapular humeral joint of a dog. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
