I know this is on the OFA site, but an awful lot of our x-rays show this to  
be false.
 
I happen to have two sets of x-rays on dogs the OFA said had DJD1, who  never 
had UAP, FCP or OCD.  (And I can prove it, lol. I could wallpaper an  entire 
room w/ said x-rays and reports from board certified orthopedic  diplomates!)
 
No doubt DJD CAN be caused by UAP, FCP and/or OCD, but I think simple wear  
and tear can cause joint changes over time, and there really ought to be a way  
for the OFA to reconcile this.
 
I've lost a lot of faith in their findings.

It is  also important to understand that DJD is a finding which aids in the  
diagnosis of elbow dysplasia, but the DJD itself is the secondary result  of 
one or more of three distinct etiologies that make up the generalized  
description of elbow dysplasia. These are united anconeal process (UAP),  
fragmented coronoid process (FCP), and osteochondrosis (OCD) which may  
appear singularly or in  combination."
