Q

what causes panosteitis

A

unknown:
could be genetic, viral, autoimmune

Disease of the adipocytes
* Death of medullary adipocytes near nutrient foramen → stimulates fibroblastic and osteoblastic activity → intramedullary new bone formation and resorption

Q

xrays of HOD

A

pseudophysis
* Irregular radiolucent line on the metaphyseal side of the physis

widening of physis

As disease progresses – periosteal new
bone formation that can span the active physis

Q

what zone increases with HOD

hypertrophic zone

widens but not calcified- inflammatory cells can invade

form pseydophysis

16
Q

prognosis of HOD

A

mild and moderate: good but can relapse

severe: good but ususually permanent malformation, sometimes have to euthanize

17
Q

what causes osteochondrosis

A

delay in endrochondral ossification

forms cartilage island that can cause pain and degregation of joint

18
Q

osteochondrosis at the primary physis will cause

A

Growth abnormalities (angular limb
deformities, slipped physis)

primary physis= metaphyseal growth plate (green)

19
Q

osteochondrosis at the 2nd physis can cause

A

Growth abnormalities

May result in chondro-osseous flaps
→ Osteochondritis dissecans OCD

secondary physis= epiphyseal

20
Q

OCD on xray

A

irregularity in normal subchondral bone contour

joint mice if pieces break off

subchondral sclerosis

21
Q

OCD in dogs in stifle is common on

A

lateral femoral condyle

22
Q

shoulder OCD in dogs in common on

A

caudal humeral head

23
Q

tarsal OCD in dogs is common on

A

medial trochlear ridge of the talus

24
Q

elbow OCD in dogs is common on the

A

humeral trochlea

25
Q

treatment of OCD

A

remove flap

debride and expose subchondral bone → fibrocartilage

can use chondral, osteochondral or synthetic graphs

26
Q

prognosis of OCD

A

depends on joint involved and size of defect

27
Q

which joint usually does poorly with OCD in dogs

A

elbow
tarsus
stifle

28
Q

which joint does well after surgery for OCD in dogs

A

shoulder

29
Q

elbow what is wrong

A

ununited anconeal process (UAP)

Failure of union of the anconeus
and ulna
* Usually fuses b/t 14-15 weeks
* Few breeds longer and up to 20 weeks

30
Q

elbow what is wrong

A

fragmented medial coronoid process (FCP)

31
Q

elbow: what is wrong

A

elbow incongruity: radius and ulna different lengths

32
Q

if you have partial damage to physis what happens to bone

A

will curve

angulation and legth discrepancy

33
Q

this is common in beagles

A

premature closure of the distral ulnar physis

leads to angular limb deformities

34
Q

how to treat early angular limb deformities

A

Protect the joints above and below
from incongruity and subsequent OA and pain

Early – partial ulnar ostectomy
* Untether radial growth from the ulna
for the entire period of growth

35
Q

how to treat later angular limb deformities

A

limb straightening +/- limb lengthening
* Osteotomy, wedge ostectomy
* CESF with distraction osteogenesis

36
Q

where are common sites of OCD in dogs

A

stifle: lateral femoral condyle
tarsal: medial trochlear ridge of the talus

shoulder: caudal humeral head
elbow: humeral trochlea
