Q

What are clinical signs of HOD?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • acute onset of lameness
  • may be severely affected
  • diarrhea
  • inappetence and lethargy
20
Q

What might you see upon physical examination of a dog with hypertrophic osteodystrophy?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • mild to severe lameness on all four limbs
  • long bone metastases swollen warm and painful on palpation
  • swelling on all four limbs
  • forelimb swelling may be more obvious
21
Q

What are radiographic findings of a dog with HOD?

Study These Flashcards
A

irregular radiolucent line metaphyseal side of physis

“double physis”

22
Q

Identify the growth plate and osteolysis for this hypertrophic osteodystrophy case

Study These Flashcards
A

A = active physis
B = osteolysis in metaphyseal side attributed to neutrophils and monocytes with cytokine production

23
Q

What is treatment for HOD - mild cases?

Study These Flashcards
A

self-limiting - focus on supportive treatment

analgesics to control pain - NSAIDs +/- opioids in mild cases

24
Q

What is treatment for HOD - severe cases?

Study These Flashcards
A

require I.V. fluid support
- corticosteroids, antibiotics, vitamin C

not proven to shorten disease course of severity

rule out bacteremia beforehand!

25
What is the prognosis for HOD?
most recover fully in 7 to 10 days; relapses may occur severe debilitation or multiple severe relapses - euthanasia
26
What is a retained ulnar cartilaginous core?
- cones of growth plate cartilage - project from distal ulnar growth plate into **distal metaphysis** aka retained endochondral cartilage core **retained** hypertrophic chondrocytes
27
If a retained ulnar cartilaginous core is associated with reduced ulnar length growth, what can occur?
**carpal valgus** - may be identical to premature closure of distal ulnar and radial growth plates
28
What disease can this be attributed to?
retained ulnar cartilaginous core
29
What is the signalment of someone with retained ulnar cartilaginous core?
large to giant immature canines
30
What do you see on radiograph with retained ulnar cartilaginous core?
radiolucent core (triangle) of cartilage in distal ulnar metaphysis +/- sclerotic zone core can extend 3-4 cm into metaphysis
31
What is treatment of retained ulnar cartilaginous core - no deformity?
no treatment, usually resolves with a well-balanced diet
32
What is treatment for retained ulnar cartilaginous core - moderate to marked forelimb deformities?
**surgical correction** of deformity well-balanced diet
33
What is Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
noninflammatory aseptic necrosis of femoral head - **"avascular necrosis of femoral head"**
34
What is the signalment of someone with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
young patient - before capital femoral physis closure
35
What is the pathophysiology of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
**collapse** of femoral epiphysis - caused by interruption of blood flow
36
How does collapse of femoral epiphysis caused by interruption of blood flow happen with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
- vascular supply to femoral head comes from **epiphyseal** vessels - (metaphyseal vessels do not cross physis to contribute to femoral head vascularity) synovitis or sustained abnormal limb position can increase intra-articular pressure and collapse the fragile veins which inhibits blood flow
37
What is the function of epiphyseal vessels?
course along femoral neck surface, cross growth plate, and penetrate bone supplies nourishment to femoral epiphysis
38
What can cause Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
synovitis or sustained abnormal limb position
39
What happens with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease when there is a hypoxic event?
cell death and reparative process begins bone substance weakened during revascularization
40
What is the signalment for Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
- **young, small breed dogs** - 6 to 7 months old - males AND females - sometimes bilateral
41
What is the clinical presentation for Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
slow onset of weight bearing lameness worsens over 6 to 8 weeks, may **progress to NWB** may present as acute onset of lameness due to the sudden collapse of the epiphysis chewing at skin over hip
42
What can you find with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease upon physical examination of someone who has it?
- **hip joint pain** - limited range of motion, crepitus small dogs may have concurrent bilateral medial patella luxations
43
What do you see with radiographs and Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
**femoral head deformity** femoral neck shortening and/or lysis foci of decreased bone opacity within femoral epiphysis
44
How do you treat Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease - early stages **before** collapse of femoral head?
limited weight bearing on limb during revascularization to **prevent collapse of femoral head** conservative treatment **NSAIDs**
45
How do you treat Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease - after collapse of femoral head?
surgery - excision of femoral head and neck (FHO)
46
What is post-operative care for someone who had a surgery to correct Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
- **limb usage immediately** after surgery - NSAIDs to reduce pain and encourage early function - passive flexion-extension of hip 2x daily - physical therapy
47
What is the prognosis for someone with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?
good after FHO slight intermittent lameness can have complications
