Clinical- Joints & synovial structures Flashcards
What is inflammation of the tendon? Tendon Sheath?
Tendonitis, tenosynovitis
What is osteochondrosis?
a defect in endochondral ossification which causes the deeper layers of articular cartilage to die
What is osteochondrosis dissecans?
osteochondrosis with a dissecting flap or separated piece of cartilage
Where is the most common place for osteochondrosis in dogs
Shoulder: the head of the humerus
List the names for inflammation of the joint

what is luxation or dislocation
complete loss of contact between the articular surface of the joint
Define subluxation
Partial loss of contact between the articular surface of the joint
why are articular fractures so difficult to treat
Must achieve anatomical reduction and ridged skeletal fixation to perfectly align the cartilage surface or it will rapidly lead to DJD
