Question
Answer
Name a joint disease of young, fast-growing animals, particularly males   Osteochondrosis  
🗑
Osteochondrosis involves which sections of bone?   Articular-epiphyseal cartilage complexes + physes  
🗑
List possible causes of osteochondrosis   Trauma on cartilage weakened by other factors (nutritional, hormonal, vascular, genetic), ischemia to growing cartilage, copper deficiency  
🗑
What is the initial event in osteochondrosis?   Damage to the blood supply in growing articular cartilage  
🗑
What is a common sequele to osteochondrosis?   DJD  
🗑
Joint mice can develop in joints with osteochondrosis. True or False?   True  
🗑
What is the major predilection site in dogs for osteochondrosis?   The shoulder joint  
🗑
What other manifestations are there in horse joints in addition to typical articular lesions?   Subchondral bone cysts, physitis, angular limb deformity, wobbler syndrome  
🗑
Name the characteristics of hip dysplasia   Subluxation of hip joint due to lack of conformity between acetabulum + femoral head  
🗑
What causes hip dysplasia?   It has a genetic component, could be environmental effects such as overfeeding  
🗑
List predisposing factors of hip dysplasia   Low pelvic mass, hypotrophy of pectineus muscle, possible linkage with osteochondrosis  
🗑
What are some gross lesions of hip dysplasia?   Shallow acetabulum, subluxation of femoral head, degenerative changes on articular cartilage of femoral head  
🗑
Primary DJD occurs in young animals and secondary DJD occurs in older animals. True or False?   False-Primary DJD occurs mainly in older animals, no apparent predisposing cause. Secondary DJD occurs due to an underlying abnormality in the joint or supporting structures  
🗑
List the possible predisposing causes of DJD   Trauma to ligaments, uneven articular surfaces, malaligned fractures, septic arthritis, persistant hemarthrosis  
🗑
Yellow discoloration, fibrillation, eburnation, and pannus formation are gross changes of what joint disease?   Degenerative joint disease  
🗑
Define fibrillation in reference to joints   Roughening of articular cartilage  
🗑
Define eburnation   Loss of articular cartilage + sclerosis of the exposed subchondral bone  
🗑
Define pannus formation   Extension of granulation tissue over articular cartilage from the synovial membrane  
🗑
Define osteophyte formation   Nodular bony outgrowths around margin of articular cartilage and bone  
🗑
Excessive synovial fluid is often found in joints with DJD True or False?   True  
🗑
