Abstract
Osteochondritis dissecans is infrequently encountered in cats but has been reported affecting the humeral head and the lateral condyle of the femur, and it remains an important differential for either thoracic or pelvic limb lameness in the cat. Based on the small number of cases reported, a positive outcome can be expected following surgical treatment. Solitary osteochondromas, osteochondromatosis and synovial osteochondromatosis can also cause lameness in cats. It is important to be aware of these three very different, albeit similarly named, conditions as the recommended treatments and prognoses vary widely between them.
