Usually unilateral

Progressive weight baring lameness

Pain (irritability, inappetence, chewing at skin over hip)

31
Q

What are the medical management options for a puppy showing signs of hip laxity?

A

Reduce food intake (low fat and protein)

Keep dog lean

Do not supplement diet (esp w/Ca)

Maintain strength and joint motion - use NSAIDs, passive exercises, glucosamine…

32
Q

What is the first sign of hip displasia?

A

Joint laxity

33
Q

The lateral suture and tightrope technique are passive constrain methods of CCL fixation. What type of method is TPLO?

A

Active/dynamic constraint

34
Q

If you feel crepitus when doing a ROM test on a dog post-FHO, what does it indicate?

A

You left a shelf of bone caudally (did not remove enough of the neck)

35
Q

What is an imbrication?

A

Tightening

36
Q

What type of suture is indicated for extracapsular CCL repair?

A

Monofilament nylon fishing line

(#6 Nylon is tested to 40-100lbs)

37
Q

Why is a craniodorsal luxation of the hip most common?

A

Middle and deep gluteal muscles insert on the greater trochanter and originate on the pelvis so the femor gets pulled cranially and dorsally

38
Q

T/F: A dog should be put under general anesthesia for a closed hip reduction.

A

True

39
Q

If during a physical exam you are trying to luxate the patella medially, the leg should be held in _____ and the leg should be rotated ______.

A

Flexion

Internally

40
Q

What is your plan of action if there are no radiographic changes but all of the clinical signs point to a cruciate ligament tear?

A

Joint tap

41
Q

What is an important ddx for collateral ligament injury?

A

Fracture of the condyle

42
Q

If the craniomedial band of the CCL tears but the caudolateral band remains intact, when will you see a cranial drawer sign?

A

In flexion

43
Q

What are the options for reconstruction of the hip?

A

Capsulorraphy

Translocation of greater trochanter

44
Q

Medial luxation of the patella causes ____ bowing of the distal third of the _____.

A

Lateral

Femur

45
Q

Which bands of the CCL is taut in extension only and which is taut in all phases?

A

Caudolateral= taut in extension

Craniomedial= taut in flexion and extension

A

Infection

FHO

50
Q

Is this gait/stance/posture more characteristic of early or later stage hip dysplasia

A

Early

Due to acute pain- weight is shifted forward to take weight off the rear limbs

51
Q

What CCL procedure eliminates cranial tibial thrust but not the cranial drawer sign? What angle between the tibial plateau and the patella is needed to eliminate thrust?

A

Tibial Tuberocity Advancement (TTA)

90deg

52
Q

What are the prosthetic implant options for hip repair?

A

Prosthetic capsule made of sututre

54

Q

What is the noninflammatory aseptic necrosis of the femoral head that occurs in young patients before the closure of the capital femoral physis?

A

Legg-Perthes Disease

56
Q

T/F: You should rule out growing pains as a cause of hip laxity before diagnosing hip dysplasia.

A

False, not a real thing

Pain is caused by the stretching of the joint capsule due to laxity

57
Q

What are the radiographic signs seen with Legg-Perthes disease?

A

Deformity of femoral head (moth eaten, lucency)

Shortening and thickening of femoral head

Foci of bone opacity in epiphysis

May not see changes even if disease is present, important to repeat rads in a month is suspect disease (Or do CT)

58
Q

What distraction index value indicates hip dysplasia? For what method of diagnosis is this from?

A

>/= 0.3

Penn-Hip method (distraction/stress radiography)

0= no subluxation at all, 1= complete luxation

59
Q

What is the typical gait for a dog with patellar luxation under grade V?

A

Skipping gait

60
Q

What are the 2 surgical options for hip dysplasia in mature dogs?

A

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Replacing acetabulum, femoral head and neck- better for large active dogs

Femoral Head and neck Ostectomy (FHO)

Best before skeletal maturity

61
Q

T/F: Early neutering is a significant risk factor dor excess TPA, which can predispose to CCL rupture.

A

True

62
Q

Dogs affected with hip dysplasia have a disproportionately rapid _____ growth and a relatively delayed ______ growth.

A

Skeletal

Muscle

63
Q

When performing the Ortolani test, the greater tha angle of ____ the greater the degree of laxity.

A

Reduction

64
Q

What other reconstruction technique, in addition to the lateral suture technique, involves using suture to mimic the path of the CCL?

A

TightRope CCL
