Elbow Dysplasia Flashcards
de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:
Flexor enthesopathy - arthroscopic features
- Was local synovitis more common in primary flexor enthesopathy or concomitant flexor enthesopathy?
- What finding was seen in cases of primary flexor enthesopathy only (not concomitant flexor enthesopathy)?
- Recommended diagnostic test(s) for confirmation of flexor enthesopathy?
de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:
- Local synovitis was more common in primary flexor enthesopathy
- An irregular surface of the mid-portion of the ulnar trochlear notch
- Arthroscopy combined with CT
de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:
Planar bone scintigraphy vs HiSPECT for diagnosis of flexor enthesopathy?
de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:
Planar bone scintigraphy only allows attribution of lameness to the elbow joint whereas HiSPECT enables localization of pathology within the elbow joint, however HiSPECT is insufficient to distinguish primary from concomitant flexor enthesopathy
Eljack, Vet Surg, 2013:
Estimation of radioulnar incongruence using 3D models
- Characteristics of a positive RUI?
- Characteristics of a negative RUI?
- Accuracy?
Eljack, Vet Surg, 2013:
- Positive RUI was characterized by a clear space between the sphere and the radial head
- Negative RUI was characterized by collision of the sphere and the radial head
- Overall accuracy was very high
Farrell, Vet Surg, 2014:
Radiographic arthrosis vs cartilage pathology
- Interobserver agreement for composite cartilage score assignment?
- Agreement between radiographic and arthroscopic assessment?
- Elbows with a higher radiographic score are significantly more likely to have a higher composite cartilage score - true or false?
Farrell, Vet Surg, 2014:
- Near perfect agreement for composite cartilage score assignment
- Excellent agreement between radiographic and arthroscopic assessment
- True
Lau, VCOT, 2015:
Role of joint incongruity in the development of medial coronoid process disease in Labs during the rapid growth phase?
Lau, VCOT, 2015:
No role of joint incongruity observed
Lau, Vet Surg, 2015:
- What % of dogs up to 12 months of age with medial coronoid process disease were diagnosed with a combination of radiography and CT?
- What % of older dogs with medial coronoid process disease were diagnosed with a combination of radiography and CT?
- Medial coronoid process disease can be present without relevant radiographic and CT findings - true or false?
Lau, Vet Surg, 2015:
- 100% of dogs up to 12 months of age with MCPD could be diagnosed
- 80% of older dogs with MCPD could be diagnosed
- True
Eljack and Bottcher, Vet Surg, 2015:
- What % of elbows appeared congruent despite having fragmented medial coronoid processes and/or cartilage damage?
- What is the odds ratio for the development of advanced cartilage damage with each millimeter of RUI?
Eljack and Bottcher, Vet Surg, 2015:
- 40% of elbows appeared congruent despite having FCP and/or cartilage damage
- Each millimeter of RUI had an odds ratio of 6.4 for the development of advanced cartilage damage
Coppieters, VRU, 2016:
- CT findings in elbow dysplasia?
- What arthroscopic finding had a significant agreement with CT?
- What is required for an accurate estimation of the extent of elbow cartilage lesions?
Coppieters, VRU, 2016:
- Periarticular osteophytosis (100%), abnormal shape of the medial coronoid process (96%), subchondral bone defect of the medial part of the humeral condyle (96%)
- Presence of fragmentation of the medial coronoid process
- Arthroscopic joint inspection is still required for an accurate estimation of the extent of elbow cartilage lesions
Alves-Pimento, VCOT, 2017:
Curvature radii measurements for assessment of humeroulnar congruity
- Agreement between curvature radii measurements for flexed vs extended views?
- Ulnar trochlear notch curvature radii measurements vs humeral trochlear curvature radii measurements?
Alves-Pimento, VCOT, 2017:
- Good agreement between curvature radii measurements for flexed vs extended views
- Ulnar trochlear notch curvature radii measurements were greater than humeral trochlear curvature radii measurements
Griffon, Vet Surg, 2018:
Comparison between radiographic, CT and arthroscopic assessments of RUI?
Griffon, Vet Surg, 2018:
Fair agreement between radiographic and CT assessments of RUI, fair to poor agreement between radiography/CT and arthroscopic assessments of RUI
Mostafa, VCOT, 2019:
Did normalized humeroradial and humeroulnar distances increase or decrease in dogs with medial coronoid disease?
Mostafa, VCOT, 2019:
Normalized humeroradial and humeroulnar distances increased with MCPD
Petkov, Vet Surg, 2019:
Radial torsion in dogs with medial coronoid disease vs healthy dogs?
Petkov, Vet Surg, 2019:
Radial torsion in healthy dogs was 3.4 degrees, whereas radial torsion in dogs with medial coronoid disease was 11.8 degrees
Skinner, VCOT, 2015:
What effect did insertion of a carbon fibre rod into the elbow joint to simulate placement of an arthroscope result in?
Skinner, VCOT, 2015:
A small but significant change in joint congruity
Coppieters, Vet Surg, 2016:
Effects of second arthroscopy?
Coppieters, Vet Surg, 2016:
Improvement in lameness in 59% of the joints but only 45% of the owners were satisfied with the results
Galindo-Zamora, Vet Surg, 2014:
Effects of arthroscopic treatment of MCPD in mature dogs?
Galindo-Zamora, Vet Surg, 2014:
Kinetic variables improved without full restoration of function, degree of OA worsened, ROM worsened
