Osteochondritis is a painful type of osteochondrosis where the cartilage or bone in a joint is inflamed.

It often refers to osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The term dissecans refers to the "creation of a flap of cartilage that further dissects away from its underlying subchondral attachments (dissecans)".
