Is osteochondrosis (dissecans) an example of a degenerative combined disease?
I wouldn’t say so, not within usual way. Degenerative pooled disease means that one or more joint are degenerating slowly or fast as a result of a particular condition. It is usually taken to connote damage or erosion to the common lining, the cartilage, as resourcefully as the underlying bone, and often can indicate a progressive process. Osteochondrosis dessicans is a form of osteochondritis. Usually this is a localised area of bony rework, which after a time undergoes reossification. The eventual outcome depends seriously on the age of onset – if someone of twelve or thirteen develops osteochondrosis dessicans, the probability are that they will recover fully. On the other mitt, if someone in their unsettled teens or early twenties develop it, the probability are higher that they will have need of surgical intervention (usually to remove loose bodies) or go on to develop hasty degenerative changes within the joint. I hope that’s of some minister to.
