Articular: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (or, avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the hip), Köhlers disease (of the tarsal navicular bone of the foot), Freibergs infraction (of the second or third metatarsal of the foot and less frequently the first or fourth; sometimes called Freibergs Infraction or Freibergs disease), Blounts disease (tibia vara), Kienböcks disease (lunate),  Panners disease (of the capitulum of the elbow). Other entities affecting mostly adults, but sometimes loosely lumped into these conditions include Preisers disease (scaphoid) and Mueller-Weiss syndrome (tarsal navicular). Non-articular: This group includes Severs disease (of the calcaneus, or heel), and other conditions not completely characteristic of the osteochondroses, such as Osgood-Schlatters disease (of the tibial tubercle) and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome (proximal patellar tendon). Treatment
There are many different kinds of treatments. One is to remove the loose piece of the leg. Or serving the branch of the lumbar muscle and ulnas attachment.Most of the time if the osteochondrosis is in the shoulder joint, the veterinarian diagnoses it from X-rays or CT scans. Some studies show that osteochondrosis is more popular in male dogs than in female dogs. Prognosis
The term osteochondrosis has been used to describe a wide range of lesions among different species. There are different types of the prognosis: latens, which is a lesion restricted to epiphyseal cartilage, manifesta, a lesion paired with a delay in endochondral ossification, and dissecans which is a cleft formation in the articular cartilage.
The prognosis for these conditions is very variable, and depends both on the anatomic site and on the time at which it is detected. In some cases of osteochondrosis, such as Severs disease and Freibergs infraction, the involved bone may heal in a relatively normal shape and leave the patient asymptomatic. On the contrary, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease frequently results in a deformed femoral head that leads to arthritis and the need for joint replacement. See also
