MUSCULO-SKE 2 Flashcards
causes of osteoarthritis
traumatic arthritis
Osteochondritis dissecans
poor nutrition
septic arthritis
Those that are more filled with fluid/space, more articular ones
f. less articular
hock joint has __ small joints namely :
3
PITJ- proximal intertarsal joint
DITJ
TMTJ
break the cycle thru
txL phenylbute 2.2mg/kg
IA corticosteroids (triamcinolone)
sodium hyaluronate
PSGAG
physical therapy
supplement wc Aid the body and the joints to heal itself
Glucosamine + Chondroitin
One of the areas commonly fractured in sesamoid bones
distal sesamoid
how many sesamoid bones
3
2- proximal
1- distal - navicular
sesamoid fracture types
apex
midbody
base
abaxial
axial
comminuted
fracture down the middle area laterally
on the sesamoid bone
midbody
not as clear cut
- more lateral because following
along an axis of the sesamoid; not
so dorsally
abaxial
comminuted fracture is sometimes accompanied by
condylar fracture
used for slab fracture
lag screw
appropriate term for bowed tendon
tendonitis
part mostly affected in tendonitis
SDF
normal elongation
16% SDFT
Injury → fibrin + inflam cells (invasion of
the area) = __ formation
scar
T/F collagen and scar tissue after
healing would limit the joint movement; lessens the tensile strength
t
causes of tendonitis
Excessive load
- Blunt or penetrating trauma
- Sepsis
- Encircling bandages
tendonitis tx includes stall rest- hot packs - and antiinflamm
cold packs
Treatment of chronic tendinitis:
Superficial point firing*
Tendon splitting
○ Carbon fiber implantation
sequelae of tendonitis if not treated
laminitis
SDFT probs occur more often but DDFT probs are more severe
T
other term for exertional rhabdomyolysis
azoturia
tying up
monday morning sickness
paralytic myoglobinuria
One of the oldest diseases or conditions in the horse
ER
predilection of ERhabdo
fillies, thoroughbreds
drafts than race horses
predisposing factor of ERhabdo
Horses with good BCS but irregular
exercise patterns
Faulty substrate metabolism
Vit and mineral deficiency
Defective Ca metabolism
Vit and mineral deficiency in ERhabdo
E, Se, Thiamin
electrolytes impt for horses
Na,K,Ca,Mg,Ph
can be a predisposing factor (some sources) of Erhabdo
influenza
urine is black or dark brown
myoglobinuria
Grade: rapidly become recumbent
firm with or w/o muscle wasting
V
Grade: unable to move
firm swollen resent palpation in muscles
3
grade: slight stiffness to shortened stride
no abnormality in muscle
1
GRADE: reluctant to move, no abnormality detected
2
unable to move, may become transiently recumbent
with firm swollen and may resent palpation
4
differentials for ERhabdo
laminitis
botulism
colic
iliac thrombosis
nutrion based myopathies
toxicity - acorn, monensin
damage cord and nerve roots
tetanus
various back problems
neuromuscular disorders
lab findings in erhabdo
inc. CK and AST
2 types of chronic tying ip
recurrent exertional rhabdo - RER
polysaccharide storage myopathy PSSM
