Findings

There is moderate effusion in both stifles with cranial displacement of the fat pad. There are radiolucent areas in both lateral femoral condyles on the lateral projections. On the craniocaudal projections, there is flattening of the lateral femoral condyles and faint radiolucency. There is only one fabella and no popliteal sesamoids in either hind limb.

Diagnosis

Osteochondrosis of the lateral femoral condyles

Discussion

Osteochondrosis can affect the lateral or medial femoral condyles of the stifle, as well as the femoral trochlea. It is often a bilateral disease so radiographs of both limbs are indicated.
