Exam 2 Flashcards
osteoid
bone matrix of type I collagen & ground substance (proteoglycans)
produces scaffolding/strength of bone
tension on bone results in…
bone resorption
inactivity of bone results in…
bone resorption
mechanical load & compression on bone results in…
bone deposition
3 pathologies of infectious osteomyelitis
trauma
local extension from adjacent infected site (e.g. lumpy jaw)
hematogenous (septic)
why are young livestock at increased risk of septicemia –> physitis or osteomyelitis
decreased or failed passive transfer
Common aerobic etiologies for infectious osteomyelitis
Brucella
E. coli
Staph
Strep
Common anaerobic etiologies for infectious osteomyelitis
Salmonella (facultative)
Clostridium
Actinomyces
Common fungal etiologies for infectious osteomyelitis
Coccidioides immitis
Blastomyces dermatitidis
lameness or paresis, recumbency
fever
infectious osteomyelitis
Sequestrum & involucrum
trauma/hypoxia –> bone necrosis –> foreign body reaction, lytic/exudate pocket
2 pathologies of non-infectious osteomyelitis
Panosteitis Metaphyseal osteopathy (or hypertrophic osteodystrophy)
Signalment for panosteitis
young (5-18 mo) large breed male dogs
German shep, goldens
Recurrent shifting leg lameness (pain on palpation) - self limiting
anorexia, mild lethargy, +/- fever
Panosteitis
What lesions are caused by Panosteitis?
medullary fibrosis & ossification (looks enlarged on rads), vascular congestion/edema
Metaphyseal osteopathy (or hypertrophic osteodystrophy) causes what lesions
- metaphyseal (NOT physeal) vascular & trabecular necrosis
- suppurative inflammation
- metaphyseal & periosteal bone proliferation
Signalment for HOD
younger (2-8 mo) large and giant breed dogs
Danes, Weimaraner’s, Boxers, German shep
Suspected causes of HOD
idiopathic
Diet - excess Ca, vitamins, calories, hypovitaminosis C
Genetic
Infectious - canine distemper vacc, E. coli sepsis
Severe, progressive lameness
lethargy, anorexia, fever
swollen painful metaphyses of distal radius, ulna, tibia
HOD
Pathognomonic sign of HOD
“double physis” on rad - reactive fare trying to stabilize metaphysis
What causes metabolic bone disease
calcium phosphorus imbalance
4 types of metabolic bone disease (all d/t Ca/P imbalance)
Osteoporosis
Osteomalacia
Rickets
Fibrous osteodystrophy
What is osteoporosis?
- Not enough normal bone
- decreased production of normal bone or excess bone removal
- reversible
Causes of osteoporosis
- physical inactivity, disuse atrophy
- starvation (Ca deficiency = increased PTH)
- decreased estrogen
- glucocorticoids
Pathological fracture, bone deformities
Cortical thining, increased porosity of bone
oseoporosis
What is osteomalacia
defective mineralization of osteoid/cartilage - can lay down Ca & P on osteoid
What causes osteomalacia
vit d deficiency (decreased Ca, P absorption) Phosphorus deficiency (or Ca or both)
Pathological fractures, bone deformities
Extensive matrix of non-mineralized osteoid
cortical and trabecular thinning (soft bone)
osteomalacia
What is rickets
defective mineralization of osteoid specifically in the physis (how differs from osteomalacia)
happens in juveniles only
Causes of rickets
Vit D (rarely hereditary) or P deficiency Ca deficiency or excess (uncommon)
2 types of hereditary vit D deficiency
type I - enz deficiency (makes active form of vit D)
type II - vit D receptor defect
thick, wide irregular physes, metaphyseal flare, enlarged joints, valgus/varus deformities, rachitic rosary
rickets
Fibrous osteodystrophy
juveniles, rarely adults
High PTH –> excess Ca release from bone –> replacement fibrosis - soft spongy bones
Causes of fibrous osteodystrophy
Primary hyperparathyroidism (rare) Secondary " " (renal dz or nutritional issue)
