Q

Rickets Cause

A

Usually vitamin D or phosphorus deficiency

40
Q

Rickets Lesions

A

Irregular growth plate thickening, enlarged ends of long bones, enlarged costochondral junctions, bowed long bones, hemorrhage beneath cartilage, fracture, ribs bend at necropsy

41
Q

Rachitic Rosary

A

Enlargement of costochondral joints

42
Q

Osteodystrophic lines

A

Growth arrest lines indicate periods of malnutrition

43
Q

Osteomalacia

A

Failure in mineralization of osteoid due to vitamin D or P deficiency occurring in adult animals with closed growth plates

44
Q

Fibrous Osteodystrophy

A

Extensive bone resorption and replacement by fibrous connective tissue and poorly mineralized immature bone due to hyperparathyroidism

45
Q

Common animals with fibrous osteodystrophy

A

Horses, pigs, dogs, cats, reptiles, and new world monkeys

46
Q

Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Fibrous Osteodystrophy

A

Parathyroid adenomas in dogs causes excess PTH and hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia, causes thyroid C cell hyperplasia, hypercalcemic nephropathy, and metastatic soft tissue mineralization

47
Q

Hypercalcemic Nephropathy

A

Deposition of calcium in kidneys

48
Q

Renal Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Fibrous Osteodystrophy

A

Deficiency of Ca or vitamin D or excess P affects young animals and causes replacement of bone by fibrous connective tissue

49
Q

Bran Disease

A

Big head in horses, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism causes fibrous osteodystrophy

50
Q

Renal Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Fibrous Osteodystrophy

A

P retention due to loss of glomerular function and inadequate calcitriol synthesis occurring commonly in dogs

51
Q

Rubber Jaw

A

Renal osteodystrophy in dogs causes bones of the head to become swollen and firm rather than hard, teeth are mobile and malpositioned, gums are swollen

52
Q

Lead Poisoning

A

Lead interferes with osteoclast activity and forms lead line of increased bone density in metaphysis

53
Q

Metaphysis

A

Growth Plate

54
Q

Hypervitaminosis A

A

Causes deforming or ankylosing cervical spondylosis in cats that consume bovine livers

55
Q

Deforming Cervical Spondylosis

A

Formation of osteophytes on cervical vertebrae causes lameness and neurological signs

56
Q

Ankylosis

A

Fixation of a joint

57
Q

Osteophytes

A

Nodules of bone on the periosteal surface

58
Q

Necrosis

A

Death of osteocytes due to ischemic injury

59
Q

Sequestrum

A

A piece of necrotic bone isolated from the remaining viable vone

60
Q

Involucrum

A

Area of granulation tissue around the sequestrum

61
Q

Traumatic Fracture

A

Broken by excessive force

62
Q

Pathologic Fracture

A

Abnormal bone broken by minimal trauma or normal weight bearing

63
Q

Closed Fracture

A

Simple; soft tissue around the bone is still intact

64
Q

Open Fracture

A

Compound; bone ruptures the soft tissue

65
Q

Comminuted Fracture

A

Bone breaks into several small fragments

66
Q

Avulsed Fracture

A

Caused by the pull of a ligament or tendon at its insertion

67
Q

Microfracture/Infraction

A

Fracturing of trabeculae without external cortical deformation

68
Q

Sequel to pig tail biting

A

Infection travels to vertebrae and causes an abscess that may rupture and result in pathologic fracture and compression of the spinal cord

69
Q

Osteosarcoma

A

Common in dogs

70
Q

Fracture Repair

A

Hematoma forms, mesh facilitates fibroblast accumulation and blood vessel formation, inflammatory cells absorb necrotic debris and stimulate osteoprogenitor cells, callus forms and then bone heals

71
Q

Age and Bone Healing

A

Healing capacity decreases with age

72
Q

Rib Fracture Healing

A

It is challenging to stabilize the ribs so callus will be replaced by bone and may still be thickened

73
Q

Fracture Complications

A

Bone necrosis and sequestrum formation, pseudoarthritis formation, osteomyelitis from compound fractures, cachexia if unable to feed

74
Q

Pseudoarthritis

A

Formation of a false joint

75
Q

Osteomyelitis

A

Inflammation in the bone. common in young animals

76
Q

Aseptic Inflammation

A

Trauma can cause osteoperositis with formation of osteophytes

77
Q

Source of Osteomyelitis

A

Omphalophlebitis in neonates

78
Q

Omphalophlebitis

A

Umbilical vein infection

79
Q

Osteomyelitis Localization

A

The vertebral bodies in piglets or the metaphyses of long bones

80
Q

Long Bone Vessels

A

Small vessels loop as they approach the metaphysis and can trap infection, inflammation can spread and cause osteomyelitis

81
Q

Draining Sinus

A

Tracks of drainage can extend into the joints or skin

82
Q

Cause of necrosis in foals

A

Salmonella

83
Q

Gram positive filamentous bacteria in sulfur granules causing characteristic bone maceration

A

Actinomyces bovis

84
Q

Hypertrophic Pulmonary Osteoarthropathy

A

Maries disease, periosteal bone proliferation in the long bones caused by a space occupying lesion in the thoracic cavity

85
Q

Causes of Maries Disease

A

Space occupying lesions in the thoracic cavity, rhabdomyosarcomas of the urinary bladder in dogs, and ovarian tumors in mares

86
Q

Canine Craniomandibular Osteopathy

A

Lion Jaw, proliferation of osteophytes on the bones of the head and mandible

87
Q

Lion Jaw Breed

A

West Highland White Terriers

88
