Canine Injuries Flashcards
what are the anatomic components involved in Medial Shoulder Instability/Syndrome
medial glenohumeral ligament (medial collateral ligament)
subscapularis
etiology of medial shoulder instability/syndrome
unknown- thought to be repetitive microtrauma/overstretching
an agility, flyball, hunting adult canine with mild-moderate chronic lameness and decreased performance may have what shoulder disease?
medial shoulder instability/syndrome
how can you tentatively diagnose medial shoulder instability/syndrome?
painful abduction
radiographs
measure abduction angle (>30)
how can you confirmatory diagnose medial shoulder instability/syndrome?
arthroscopy
MRI
US
if a dog has mild-moderate medial shoulder instability/syndrome, what treatment?
rehab, hobbles, shockwave therapy
if a dog has severe (luxation) medial shoulder instability/syndrome, what treatment?
surgery (radiofrequency shrinkage, prosthetic ligament reconstruction or tendon transposition)
etiology of OCD of the shoulder
genetics
nutrition (excess Ca or calories)
ddx for OCD of the shoulder
elbow dysplasia
panosteitis
treatment for OCD lesion of the shoulder? prognosis?
osteochondroplasty (flap removal)
osteoarthritis management
excellent for caudal, good for caudo-central
OCD lesion of the shoulder diagnostics?
radiographs
pain of flexion of shoulder
a middle-aged medium/large breed athletic dog with progressive lameness and exacerbated with exercise, may have what shoulder disease?
biceps/supraspinatus tendinopathy
diagnostics tests for biceps/supraspinatus tendinopathy
radiographs
if normal, US
treatment for biceps tendinopathy
PT/rehab
medical - corticosteroids (triamacinolone)
surgical - tenodesis, tenotomy
treatment for supraspinatus tendinopathy
PT/rehab
medical - shock wave, PRP
surgical - tendon resection, release humeral lig, release incisions of supraspinatus
Older dog with periosteal proliferation around distal bones “palisade formation” with a lung or abdominal mass?
hypertrophic osteopathy
which joint with an OCD lesion has the best prognosis?
shoulder
treatment of OCD lesions in canines
flap removal
focal procedures (OATS)
regenerative - stem cells/PRP
3-6 month old large breed dog who is recumbent, systemically ill with swollen/hot/painful metaphysis, what would i suspect to find on radiographs?
double physeal line = hypertrophic osteodystrophy
treatment for hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD)
supportive care:
analgesia, NSAIDs, GI protect, rest (mild)
enteral nutrition, antibiotics (severe)
7-16 month old german shepherd with shifting limb lameness and painful diaphyseal regions, what would I expect?
panosteitis
treatment for panosteitis? prognosis?
self limiting
check diet for excess protein
NSAID/pain med
excellent prognosis
a dog was HBC and has a dorsal hip luxation, what would be the treatment?
closed reduction + ehmer sling for 10-14 days
