Project description
This research project is a combination of in vivo evaluation of subchondral bone density using computer tomographic osteoabsorptiometry and evaluation of aricular stresses using bimechanical modelling techniques (breed-specific musculoskeletal models and finite element modelling). The density and stress distributions will be correlated to the localisation of osteochondrosis lesions in dogs.
