Q

Can you use external coaptation to correct a humeral condylar fracture?

Q

OCD presentation (immature and mature)

A

Immature- inflammatory arthritis
Mature- secondary degenerative dz
Male, lg breed dogs

19
Q

Most common joints affected with OCD?

A

Shoulder- caudolateral numeral head
Elbow- medial numeral condyle
Hock- medial or lateral talar ridge
Stifle- medial or lateral femoral condyle

20
Q

T/F Biceps brachii tendinopathy can be dx’d and tx’s with arthroscopy

A

True

21
Q

Treatment for recurrent/peristaltic lameness from biceps brachii tendinopathy?

A

Intraarticular corticosteroid injection

22
Q

80% of shoulder instability is ____________

A

Medial

23
Q

T/F Shoulder instability responds well to NSAIDs and rest

A

False

It’s an anatomic problem- not inflammation!

24
Q

Tx for severe shoulder instability

A

Medial glen overall ligament reconstruction

25
Q

Signalment and tx for Infraspinatus Contracture

A

Active, adult, large or hunting breed dogs. Will be standing with elbow addicted and antibrachium abducted (like they’re holding their paw out for shake to the side)
Tx: teen tony of Infraspinatus tendon

26
Q

With traumatic shoulder medial luxation the distal limb will be ______

A

Abducted

27
Q

With traumatic shoulder lateral luxation the distal limb with be ________________

A

Adducted

28
Q

Most common traumatic shoulder luxation side

A

Medial

29
Q

Tx for traumatic shoulder luxation (medial and lateral)

A

Closed reduction
Medial- velpuau sling
Lateral- spica splint

Sx if chronic/recurrent/unstable/accompanying fractures

30
Q

Congenital Shoulder Luxation signalment, PE, tx

A

Signalment: small, toy breeds, 3-10 mo
PE: minimal pain, can’t reduce Gleniod
The: Glenoid dysplasia - salvage (best), Gleniod excision

31
Q

Elbow Dysplasia presentation

A

Biphasic age distribution- young (pain due to defect in joint surface), old (pain due to OA)
Large and giant breed dogs
Chronic, progressive lameness aggravated by activity

32
Q

What would you find on PE of UAP?

A

Pain on extension

33
Q

What would you find of PE of MCD

A

Pain on flexion + supination

34
Q

Characteristic posture for MCD

A

“Toed out” like a ballet turnout

35
Q

Proposed etiology for UAP

A

Radio ulnar incongruity

36
Q

If anconeal process hasn’t fused by ____ weeks = UAP

A

24 weeks

37
Q

Proposed FCP etiology

A

Microtrauma

38
Q

OCD etiology

A

Failure of endochondral ossification due to gender, breed, growth rate, genes, nutrition

39
Q

Gold standard for dx’ing FCP and OCD

A

Arthroscopy

40
Q

Surgical tx for UAP

A

Fragment excision- not ideal by itself but ok for older dog with DJD
Osteotomy + fixation- more appropriate for dogs w/o OA

41
Q

Surgical treatment for FCP/OCD?

A

Arthroscopic treatment is GOLD STANDARD

42
Q

Treatment for traumatic elbow luxation

A

Closed reduction -> acute
Open reduction -> concurrent fractures
Salvage -> DJD

43
Q

Do you maintain the leg in extension or flexion for postop traumatic elbow luxation

A

Extension
