The aim of this paper was to describe the manifestation of developmental orthopedic diseases, particularly Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), in Crioulo foals, considering the clinical sings, radiological study and the animal’s diet. Were evaluated three foals from Crioulo breed presenting volume increase in the knee, fore fetlock and hind fetlock joints. The foals were submitted to radiological examination of the affected joints, showing irregular images in the growing plates region and radiolucent areas in the distal portion of the radius e first phalanx, characterizing the presence of degenerative lesions of the articular cartilage. The bromatological study of the pastures was made demonstrating imbalances in the calcium-phosphorus relation, being this one of the mains factors involved in the development of OCD lesions. The diagnosis was perform based on the clinical e radiological changes, besides the animal’s diet, age group and practiced exercise.KEY WORDS: Crioulo, DOD, equine, osteochondritis dissecans, orthopedics.
