Studies on the pathogenesis of tibial dyschondroplasia in chickens. I. Production of a similar defect by surgical interference.
The prehypertrophic cartilage in the proximal growth plate of the tibiotarsus in chickens persisted after surgical destruction of the metaphyseal blood supply. The persistent cartilage was grossly and histologically similar to abnormal cartilage from natural cases of tibial dyschondroplasia.
