    Unilateral hip surgery in lambs caused limb deformities and abnormal bone growth. Vascular changes in the growth plate suggest a reparative response to physeal osteochondrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Unilateral hip excision arthroplasty in lambs can lead to compensatory deformities in the contralateral limb.
    • Abnormal bone growth and vascular changes in the distal limb require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the vascular changes associated with abnormal bone growth in the distal tibiae and metatarsi of lambs following unilateral hip arthroplasty.
    • To examine the relationship between these vascular changes and physeal osteochondrosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Lambs underwent unilateral hip excision arthroplasty.
    • Histological examination of distal tibiae and metatarsi focused on physeal cartilage, vascular patterns, and bone formation.
    • Eosinophilic septa and epiphyseal vessel morphology were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Angular and torsional deformities were observed in the contralateral limb.
    • Increased frequency and prominence of eosinophilic septa were noted, correlating with physeal osteochondrosis.
    • Epiphyseal vessels penetrated thickened physeal cartilage abnormally, causing bone protrusions and irregular growth plates.
    • A unique vascular pattern, with vessels crossing the physis and branching, was identified as a potential reparative response.

    Conclusions:

    • Unilateral hip arthroplasty induces significant limb deformities and aberrant vascularization in the growth plate.
    • The observed vascular patterns in the physis may represent a biological attempt at repair in response to induced osteochondrosis.
