Fig. 6

Perichondrial new bone formation. a and c are caudo-lateral views, b and d are lateral views. a Pig 16, interval 6, left and right tarsi. There are tiny, mineral hyperdense foci (arrow) at the level of, but peripherally adjacent to the right distal fibular physis, i.e. in the location of the perichondrium. b Pig 14, interval 7, left shoulder. There is a tiny, mineral hyperdense focus (arrow) adjacent to the right distal scapular physis. c Pig 16, interval 7. The foci from (a) have increased in size and resemble osteochondrosis dissecans fragments next to the physis, as opposed to in the joint space. d Pig 14, interval 8. Some of the mineral hyperdense foci from (b) have fused with the underlying bone and form large, florid protrusions. Asterisks (*) in (b) and (d): Normal ossification centre for the supra-glenoid tubercle
