Q

Put the following in order (with respect to DJD):
1. Cartilage damage
2. inflamed synovium
3. formation of osteophytes
4. mechanical stress
5. osteoarthritis

A

Mechanical stress -> inflamed synovium -> cartilage damage (DJD) -> formation of osteophytes -> osteoarthritis

16
Q

What is osteochondrosis dessicans

A

When osteochondrosis results in a loose flap of cartilage and bone at the surface of a joint

17
Q

Where does osteochondrosis most commonly occur

A

Stifle, hock, fetlock, shoulder

18
Q

What causes osteochondrosis

A

Heredity (WB, STB), nutrition (high-energy feeds), trauma. Body grows too fast, skeletal system messed up

19
Q

How is osteochondrosis diagnosed

A

Lameness in young horse, joint inflammation, radiographs

20
Q

How would you conservatively treat osteochondrosis

A

NSAIDs, joint injection of SAIDs, oral supplement (glucosamine/chondroitin)

21
Q

How would you aggressively treat osteochondrosis

A

Surgery to remove bone fragment/cartilage, pinning with absorbable pins

22
Q

How serious is osteochondrosis

A

Depends on location; minimal to life threatening

23
Q

Complications of osteochondrosis?

A

DJD may develop

24
Q

When a horse injures a tendon in the lower leg (commonly the superficial/deep digital flexor tendon) what is this called (2 names)

A

Tendonitis or bowed tendon

25
Q

What causes the “bow” in the tendon

A

The swelling

26
Q

How do you diagnose tendonitis

A

Visible/palpable swelling, lameness, blocks, ultrasound

27
Q

How do you treat acute tendonitis

A

Ice, rest, NSAIDs

28
Q

How do you treat chronic tendonitis

A

Rehab, extracorporeal shockwave

29
Q

How serious is tendonitis?

A

Varies, can be normal in a couple months or can re-injure

30
Q

What are the complications of tendonitis

A

Annular ligament constriction (tendon swells under the ligament putting pressure on it)
Tenosynovitis
Chronic lameness

31
Q

A horse has poor performance, low-grade hind limb lameness, is dragging one of its hindlimbs and is resisting work. There is asymmetry in their hindquarters, what could it be?

A

Sacroilic Desmitis or Sacroiliac Osteoarthritis

32
Q

What is sacroiliac desmitis

A

Inflammation of the sacroiliac ligament

33
Q

What is sacroiliac osteoarthritis

A

Inflammation of the flat, immobile sacroiliac joints

34
Q

How do you diagnose sacroiliac

A

Hard
Scintigraphy
Blocks (difficult)
Ultrasound
Visible asymmetry

35
Q

how do you treat sacroiliac

A

Frustrating, use joint injections (SAIDs), alternative therapies like acupuncture, chiropractor

36
Q

How serious is sacroiliac disease

A

Chronic, frustrating
Serious impact on long-term performance
