Test 2: 20: orthopedic disease of dogs Flashcards
panosteitis occurs in — age dogs
5-18 months
single or multiple limbs
large or giant breeds
clinical signs of panosteitis
shifting lameness
not changed by exercise or rest
long bone: Ulna > radius > humerus > femur > tibia
pain mid shaft of bone
large or giant breed
5-18 months old
panosteitis occurs in what bones
Ulna > radius > humerus > femur > tibia
large or giant breeds
5-18 months
shifting lameness
pain mid shaft of bone
what causes panosteitis
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
xray of panosteitis
Intramedullary opacity
Endosteal thickening
Periosteal new bone
large breed
5-18 months
mid shaft long bone pain
treatment of panosteitis
conservative
usually goes away in a few months
NSAIDs for pain
Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy occurs in — age dogs
HOD
large and giant breed
3-5 months old
dogs with Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy(HOD) present with
fever
depression, anorexia, refusal to stand/walk
large breeds
3-5 months old
dogs with Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy(HOD) present with
fever
depression, anorexia, refusal to stand/walk
swollen metaphysis
painful at growth plates (especially front legs)
large breeds
3-5 months old
what causes Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD)
unknown
viral?
people previously thought vit D deficiencies
large breed
3-5 months
painful at physis, won’t walk, fever
xrays of HOD
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
what zone increases with HOD
hypertrophic zone
widens but not calcified- inflammatory cells can invade
form pseydophysis
treatment of mild HOD
resolves in a few days
pain (NSAIDs)
treatment of moderate HOD
pain relief
IVF
treatment of severe HOD
Analgesia, IVF, feeding tubes, well padded bedding, recumbent care
if very severe→euthanasia
