Q

OA pathogenesis

A

cartilage- decreased stiffness-> increased proliferation-> loss of tissue when chondrocytes can’t keep up

leads to osteophyte formation, inflammation, fibrosis

dx- ortho exam, palmarograde stance w normal rads
tx- exercise, splint 2wks if cannot be extended
sx if severe-> tenotomy, arthrodesis

23
Q

retained cartilage cores

Study These Flashcards
A

lg breed, 5m
torsion angulation deformity, retarded growth of distal ulna
dx- rads, radiolucent cartilage cores
tx- monitor for angular deformity
distal ulnar ostectomy, radial osteotomy

24
Q

CCL insufficiency C/S, dx, tx

Study These Flashcards
A

degenerative condition
loss of muscle mass, fails sit test, medial buttress, effusion, pain, +ve drawer/thrust
dx- rads r/o other causes

tx- weight loss, exercise modification, NSAIDs

25
CCLR sx
extracapsular- lateral fabellotibial suture, tightrope, fibular head transposition (create fibrosis)-> dogs <15kg osteotomies, osteotomies-> dynamic stability (TPLO, TTA, CCW)
26
patellar luxation C/S
sit test failure, skipping gait, effusion, drawer positive in flexion (medial) developmental- medial in sm breeds, lateral in lg breeds can be traumatic
27
factors creating malignment of extensors
1. coxa vara 2. distal femoral varus 3. shallow trochlear groove 4. hypoplastic medial femoral condyle 5. medial torsion of tibial tuberosity 6. proximal tibial valgus 7. internal torsion of foot
28
patellar luxation grades
grade I: stays in, can be luxated but goes back grade II: stays in, can be luxated and put back grade III: stays out, can reduce but in goes back out grade IV: stays out, cannot reduce
29
patellar luxation tx
soft tissue procedures- release contracted tissues, desmotomy, quad release groove reconstruction- sulcoplasty, chondroplasty, wedge resection, block recession limb alignment- fabello tibial anti-rotational suture, tibial tuberosity transposition, distal femoral osteotomy (vaurs >15 degrees)
30
hip dysplasia causes
genetic susceptibility, environment-> hip laxity (excessive joint fluid, low pelvic muscle, hormones, nutritional excess, increased BW)
31
pathophysiology of hip dysplasia
forces crossing the joint increase, and are put on less contact area (instead of being spread evenly across the acetabulum)-> cartilage damage, joint inflammation, OA
32
progression of hip dysplasia w time
normal at birth-> earliest changes at 30d-> rad signs at 7wks-> pain and disability (OA) w age **palpable/rad changes appear before degeneration
33
signalment C/S for hip dysplasia
lg breeds, not sight hounds juvenile 5-12m: sudden onset lameness, bunny hopping, difficulty rising, laxity chronic: pain from DJD, stiff pelvic limbs, exercise intolerance
34
PE for hip dysplasia
localize to hip joint, r/o CCLR, back pain, neoplasia, ortolani test
35
hip rads
OFA- extended hip rads, results variable in young animals pennhip (neutral position)- needs GA/certification, rated from 0-1 (tx >0.7)
36
hip dysplasia tx
medical- palliative, pain meds, nutritional, modified exercise surgical: prophylactic- no OA-> prevent juvenile pubic symphysiodesis 12-20wks, palpable laxity pelvic osteotomy 10m-1y salvage- >1y w OA-> eliminate pain FHO, THR (restores function)
37
hip luxation causes
usually trauma, hip dysplasia
38
most hip luxations are
craniodorsal, ventral less common
39
hip luxation C/S
craniodorsal- pain, lameness, external rotation, adduction, shortened limb ventral- pain, lameness, internal rotation, longer limb
40
hip luxation dx, tx
rads (Vd and lateral)-> check for fx, hip dysplasia tx- reduction within 3d closed for CD-> elmer sling ventral-> hobbles open reduction for fx, or if chronic: capsulorrhaphy, prosthetic capsule, FHNE/FHO, THR-> OA
41
which hip luxation has better prognosis w closed reduction?
ventral
42
factors in elbow dysplasia
medial compartment disease ununited anconeal process OCD incongruity
43
ununited anconeal process (UAP), dx
lg breed, males, 5-12m, bilateral caused by incongruity, genetics, etc (unclear) dx- PE, rads-> gradual onset NWB, effusion, pain on palpation and extension
44
UAP tx
early intervention (prevent DJD) anconeal process removal, reattachment ulnar osteotomy, ostectomy
45
medial compartment disease fragmented medial coronoid incongruity, signalment
young lg breeds (goldens, labs, GSD) 6-18m presentation. biphasic <3y >7y
46
medial coronoid disease?
complex polygenic trait-> delay in endochondral ossification-> incongruence, instability
47
lesions on medial humeral condyle from MCD
kissing lesion from FCP, graded w MOS scale 1- swelling, dull 2- partial thickness 3- down to subchondral bone 4- full thickness cartilage erosion 5- bone eburnation
48
elbow dysplasia C/S
lameness, pain on manipulation, bilateral-> lameness hard to see elbows abducted, paw externally rotated effusion, fibrosis (enlarged joint) decreased ROM if chronic
49
elbow dysplasia dx
rads- good for osteophytes, lacks Se for medial coronoid disease CT- gold standard for medial coronoid, evaluation of subchondral bone, cannot see cartilage arthroscopy- needs GA, can see joint surfaces, minimally invasive tx
50
elbow dysplasia tx
arthrotomy, arthroscopy fragment removal, subtotal coronoid osteotomy biceps ulnar release procedure ulnar osteotomy/ostectomy humeral osteotomy-> sliding, external rotational NSAIDS, weight loss, exercise/rehab, injections, radiation
51
factors to consider with elbow dysplasia tx
severity of OA patient age expected activity level
52
best prognosis for elbow dysplasia is in:
early surgical tx in young dogs, mild OA postop rehab
