Overview
The ultimate cause for these conditions is unknown, although several of the human osteochrondroses are more common in very active individuals. This leads some researchers to speculate that cumulative microtrauma may be the primary event. Osteochondrosis in swine has been shown to be a condition responsive to supplementation with the essential trace element boron and may be a manifestation of boron deficiency.
