The increased incidence of leg abnormalities, particularly tibial dyschondroplasia, in chickens could be related to changes in tibiotarsal cancellous bone properties. To explore this hypothesis, the relationship between lesion occurrence and various tibiotarsal growth parameters, and subchondral bone strength characteristics was investigated. A higher elastic modulus, meaning the cancellous bone was more rigid, was seen for tibiotarsal cancellous bone with lesions. Microfractures in cancellous bone, particularly in the medial growth plate region, may lead to overall bone conformation changes and therefore to lameness.
鸡腿部异常，尤其是胫骨软骨发育不良的发病率增加，可能与胫跗骨松质骨特性的变化有关。为了探究这一假设，研究了病变发生与各种胫跗骨生长参数以及软骨下骨强度特征之间的关系。有病变的胫跗骨松质骨具有更高的弹性模量，这意味着松质骨更坚硬。松质骨中的微骨折，尤其是在内侧生长板区域，可能会导致整体骨骼形态变化，进而导致跛行。
