Data are lacking in the literature regarding the incidence of osteochondrosis (dissecans) [OC(D)] in relation to lameness evaluation in Dutch Warmblood horses. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence of radiological abnormalities consistent with osteochondrosis or osteochondrosis dissecans in 1,231 sound Dutch Warmblood (DW) horses presented for pre-purchase examination. Standardised (Dutch) pre-purchase examination protocols were evaluated. The pre-purchase examination included a clinical, lameness and radiological evaluation, performed at a private equine clinic in the Netherlands. Radiographical examination included views of the distal (DIP) and proximal (PIP) interphalangeal, metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal (MCP/MTP), tarsocrural (TC) and femoropatellar (FP) joints. Radiographical evidence of OC(D) was found in 44.3% of clinically sound DW horses. In this study, 443 horses (36%, n = 1,231) had evidence of OCD and 102 horses (8.3%, n = 1,231) had evidence of OC on pre-purchase radiographs. The results also indicated that the TC joints were significantly more likely to be affected. A considerable number of horses did not demonstrate any lameness, although radiographs revealed OC(D).
关于荷兰温血马跛行评估与骨软骨病（剥脱性骨软骨炎）[OC(D)]发病率的文献数据缺乏。本回顾性研究的目的是评估 1,231 匹健康荷兰温血马（DW）中与骨软骨病或剥脱性骨软骨炎一致的放射学异常的发生率。这些马匹是在荷兰的一家私人马诊所进行购买前检查时发现的。评估了标准化（荷兰）购买前检查方案。购买前检查包括临床、跛行和放射学评估。放射学检查包括远端（DIP）和近端（PIP）趾间、掌指和跖趾（MCP/MTP）、跗跖和股髌（TC/FP）关节的影像学检查。在临床健康的 DW 马中，44.3%的马匹发现有 OC(D)的放射学证据。在这项研究中，443 匹马（36%，n = 1,231）有 OCD 的证据，102 匹马（8.3%，n = 1,231）有 OC 的证据。结果还表明，TC 关节更容易受到影响。尽管放射学检查显示存在 OC(D)，但相当数量的马匹没有任何跛行迹象。
