A distinguishing factor between CPPD and HA is that HA typically involves tendons, bursae, and periarticular tissue, whereas CPPD typically deposits in hyaline and fibrocartilage. Moreover, the deposition of HA may mimic an acute inflammation.

It can be concluded that the mesenchymal model of the embryonic skull of sheep can differentiate hyaline cartilage and since this hyaline cartilage is more consistent than fibrocartilage and no fibrocartilaginous tissue was seen in these cases, the best result was obtained in group II.
