Musculo-Skeletal System Flashcards
Predisposing Causes of musculo skeletal sys dz/breeds
Professional animal athletes
- intensive training
- Overuse of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints due to training
- Wear and tear - Joint integrity
a. Weight bearing - lose weight - feel
better
i. overweight
b. Strength training
c. General arthritis - Trauma or injury - acutely dangerous
a. Interferences (limb to limb contact)
i. brushing
ii. scalping
iii. over-reaching or grabbing
iv. Diagonal
tendons that hold integrity of the limb
SDF, DDF, PCR
Distal and Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Disease: what bone
ringbone
High - PIP (proximal interphalangeal joint)
or ??
pastern joint
Low - DIP (distal interphalangeal pastern
joint) or?
coffin joint
Soft-fluid or hard bony ridge: what part
Pastern front ( high ringbone if forelimb)
Above the coronary band (hind >fore)
- Hindlimb mas common
Causes of Soft-fluid or hard bony ridge
Arthritis of the pastern or coffin joints
- Repeated Trauma, high impact, wear and
tear
- Race and high performance horses
(common) more than in riding horses
which breed common ang Soft-fluid or hard bony ridge
Race and high performance horses
(common) more than in riding horses
treatment Plan (Acute care) for Soft-fluid or hard bony ridge
NSAIDS phenylbut 2.2mg/kg
- Sodium hyaluronate
- PSGAG
- IA corticosteroids (Triamcinolone 3-6 mg)
most common drug for hard bony ridge or soft fluid
Phenylbute - Most commonly used and most readily available for horses
what are the injection sites. and positions (intraarticular)
*intraarticular injection to the coffin joint)
- patayo
Dorsal parallel approach to the DIP joint (figure 1)
Dorsolateral approach to the PIP joint (figure 2)
Lateral approach to the DIP joint (figure 3)
- nakaflex
which is more mobile joint?
coffin
Any disease localized to the MCPJ/MTPJ; acts as suspension
METACARPO-(METATARSO) PHALANGEAL JOINT DZ
real and proper term for osselets
synovitis and capsulitis
if localized sa Fetlock ang joint dz, called
METACARPO-(METATARSO) PHALANGEAL JOINt
specific causes of METACARPO-(METATARSO) PHALANGEAL JOINT dz
Articular fractures - proximal P1 proximal
sesamoids or distal MC/MT
- Osteochondrosis
if there is microtearing of joints, there is
Osselets
in Osselets; acute vs chronic
Acute: painful
Chronic: blemish
if phenylbutazone does not work in joint dz. ano na
Hyaluronate sodium sterile injexn 40mg IV q7d x 3 treatments
- Adequan IM PSGAG 500mg IM q4d x 7 tx
IM!
technique in IM injection?
pukpok rump
how may ml ang dapat makuha para malaman na may inflammation sa Intraarticular injexn sa fetlock
f 5-10 ml normal but have withdrawn 20
ml = inflammation
sx tx for joiont dz
Remove the inflamed part
- Joint fragment removed
Osteoarthritis
- Progressive physical and biochemical
damage to articular cartilage and subchondral bone accompanied by non-sseptic inlfamm of the synovial membrane and joint capsule
DJD - Degenerative Joint Disease
diagnosed thru ano ang djd
xray
Carpals: RIUA - medial to lateral
radial intermediate ulnar accessory
DJD is different to arthritis. DJD is OSTEOarthristis
Chronic breakdown in the cartilage - Poor joint health due to constant
inflammation
lameness*
- Rarely acute , chronic usually
- Synovial effusion
- Bony abnormalities
- Repeated probs sa joints
Articular cartilage degeneration
causes of Articular cartilage degeneration
Abnormal forces trauma
- Poor healing?
causes of osteoarthritis or djd
Traumatic arthritis
○ Came from septic arthritis
● Poor nutrition
○ Deficiency in Ca, Vit D, Vit E, Se
● Osteochondritis dissecans
- starts thickening
as a form of healing response but cartilage
breaks off from the joint
● Septic arthritis
○ Starts at infection
○ E.g. puncture to joint by nail that is
untreated
