Osteoarthritis

Lesions observed were most consistent with synovial osteochondromatosis secondary to degenerative joint disease

Large mineralisations in feline stifles are ossifications in periarticular tissue and are associated with degenerative joint disease

In comparison to other breeds, the prevalences reported in the study are in the mid to upper range

Effective for alleviation of pain and generally well tolerated, in a study on dogs with OA

APS injection reduced pain and lameness scores and increased weight-bearing associated with the OA-affected joint in dogs at 12 weeks

Synovial ATP was elevatel in the stifles of dogs with secondary osteoarthritis and urate-induced synovitis

There is no consensus on which are the most useful outcomes to assess canine OA or by which method they should be assessed

Outcomes suggested beneficial effects of RSWT in dogs with hip osteoarthritis

Arthroscopic treatment of medial coronoid disease, even with limited cartilage lesions, may not resolve lameness in some dogs

Synovial fluid lactate concentration is not a good marker for osteoarthritis or immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis, but it is significantly increased in septic arthritis
