Classification

Human Osteochondroses

In humans, these conditions may be classified into three groups:

1. Spinal: Scheuermann's disease (of the interspinal joints)
2. Articular: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (or, avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the hip), Köhler's disease (of the tarsal navicular bone of thefoot), Panner's disease (of the capitulum of the elbow), and Freiberg's infraction (of the second metatarsal of the foot; sometimes called Freiberg's Infarction or Freiberg's disease)
3. Non-articular: This group includes Kienbock's disease (of the lunate bone of the wrist) and Sever's disease (of the calcaneus, or heel), and other conditions not completely characteristic of the osteochondroses, such as Osgood-Schlatter's disease (of the tibial tubercle) and Osteochondritis dissecans.
