The feature that is not true of osteochondrosis is that the disease is usually acute. This is a self healing disorder affecting the growing epiphysis where the bony centre of growth becomes avascular and dies. The bone is subsequently revascularised and reforms. Sometimes, there is a permanent residual deformity. The whole cycle can take up to two years.
