Radiographic signs of Degenerative Joint Disease
Soft tissue
joint space
articular surface
Subchondral bone changes
Ne bone formation : enthesophytes and osteophytes, intra-articular mineralization
Signs of joint disease
soft tissue swelling
Assess facial planes and infrapatellar fat pad
Obliterations, compression, or reduced visualization
Query if intra-articular or extra-articular
Signs of Joint disease
Soft tissue swelling
intra-articular
Loss of normal infrapatellar fat pad and caudal fascial plane
Signs of Joint disease
Soft tissue swelling
Extra-articular
Compression of the fascial planes from outside the joint
