Sentences with phrase «abnormal joint cartilage»

They are used for arthritis, knee ligament injury (anterior cruciate ligament disease or ACL), canine hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, dislocating knee cap (patellar dislocation), rheumatoid or septic arthritis, abnormal joint cartilage development (osteochondritis dissecans or OCD), and spinal arthritis (spondylosis deformans).

Not exact matches

This abnormal movement breaks down the cartilage lining joints, and over time the bones begin rubbing against one another, creating chronic inflammation and pain.

As cartilage degenerates it becomes more fragile and susceptible to injury as a result of the abnormal shearing forces exerted on the now unstable joint.

Osteochondrosis: a group of developmental diseases resulting in abnormal formulation of joint cartilage.

In others abnormal stresses or trauma to the joint can cause degeneration of the joint cartilage and underlying bone.

If your Havanese shows signs of patellar luxation early in life, the major muscle groups of the thigh pull toward the inside of the leg, putting abnormal pressure on the knee joint cartilage.

The result of the instability in the joint is abnormal wear of the cartilage.

Osteochondritis Dissecans or OCD is a serious joint disease in which abnormal development of cartilage occurs.

This condition affects the weight - bearing joints (hips, knees, elbows, shoulders), causing loss of lubricating fluids, wearing away of cartilage, and abnormal bone growth.

Osteochondrosis (OC [D]-RRB--- improper blood supply to a small section of the humerus within the elbow joint leaving an abnormal section of cartilage that may break free in the joint;

Too much pounding pressure on this cartilage can cause developmental problems resulting in poor bone growth or abnormal joint surfaces leading to painful inflammation.

These theories include failure of transition of cartilage to bone during development, and excessive wear and tear on the coronoid process due to joint incongruity which places abnormal stresses on the developing bone.

This abnormality can lead to development of abnormal cartilage, and eventually create a loose flap of cartilage within the joint.

The term osteochondrosis refers to an abnormal development of the cartilage on the end of a bone in the joint, while osteochondritis dissecans refers to a separation of the diseased cartilage from the underlying bone.

If left undiagnosed and untreated, this instability causes abnormal wear of the hip cartilage and ultimately progresses to osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease.

Surgery is the treatment of choice for this condition, and its aim is to remove any abnormal cartilage or bone and attempt to return the joint to a more normal anatomy and function.

The initiating events that trigger the inflammatory cascade usually fall into one of two categories, either: 1) abnormal forces imposed on normal joints such as fractures, sprains, obesity, direct trauma, etc.; or 2) normal forces imposed on abnormal joints such as elbow or hip dysplasia, osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD), patellar luxation, ununited anchoneal process, fragmented coronoid process, cranial cruciate ligament rupture or tear, and other congenital or genetic conformational cartilage, bone or joint defects.

It occurs when cartilage in the joint is damaged, either following a traumatic event or with wear and tear that increases in athletic animals, obese animals, or when the joint is congenitally abnormal.

More precisely the different joint conditions grouped under the name of elbow dysplasia include: a ununited anconeal process (failure of union between the anconeal process and the remainder of the ulna beyond 20 weeks of age), the so - called osteochondrosis dissecans of the humeral condyle (failure of ossification of the articular cartilage covering the humeral condyle, resulting in an abnormal thickening of the articular cartilage and separation between this region and the underlying bone), and finally the fragmentation of the coronoid process (in which the ulnar coronoid process have multiple fragments or most often a single fragment).

Hip dysplasia is painful in young dogs because abnormal wear of joint cartilage exposes pain fibers in underlying bone and laxity causes stretching of surrounding soft tissues.

Abnormal development of the hip causes excessive wear of the joint cartilage during weight bearing, eventually leading to the development of arthritis, often called degenerative joint disease (DJD) or osteoarthritis (OA).

Wear between the bones and meniscal cartilage becomes abnormal and the joint begins to develop degenerative changes.

This technique involves removing the femoral portion of the hip joint (i.e., the ball) to reduce the pain produced by abnormal hip joint contact that wears away the joint cartilage, and the stretching of the soft tissues around the joint due to laxity (Figure 5).

Additionally, this abnormal motion frequently damages the cartilage pads in the joint, known as the menisci.

This medial sliding of the patella puts abnormal forces on the bones and muscles of the leg, causing progressive deterioration of the cartilage in the knee joint and eventual arthritis.

The resulting mechanical looseness of the joint (hip laxity or subluxation) causes abnormal wear on the cartilage that line the femoral head.
