The lesions in 3 turkeys with articular cartilage flap formation and associated osteoarthrosis are described. Since cartilage flap formation was accompanied by a disturbance in endochondral ossification, the diagnosis of osteochondrosis dissecans could be made. The site of lesions in 2 of the cases demonstrated that an adjacent ossific nucleus is not a necessary prerequisite for animal osteochondrosis dissecans. In addition, the site of the lesion in these 2 cases support the suggestion that the junctions of contact and non-contact areas of an articular surface are predisposed to pathological change.
描述了3只出现关节软骨瓣形成及相关骨关节炎的火鸡的病变情况。由于软骨瓣形成伴有软骨内成骨紊乱，故可作出分离性骨软骨炎的诊断。其中2例的病变部位表明，相邻的骨化核并非动物分离性骨软骨炎的必要先决条件。此外，这2例的病变部位支持了这样一种观点，即关节面接触区与非接触区的交界处易发生病理变化。
