− | *Often in bulls and dogs, occurs also in horses, cats and pigs
| |
− | *[[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Osteophyte]] formation on ventral aspect of vertebrae
| |
− | **Often around lumbar region
| |
− | **Adjacent to intervertebral spaces
| |
− | **Varies in size - small spurs -> 'bridges' between vertebrae
| |
− | **May extend over few vertebrae
| |
− | *Pathogenesis:
| |
− | **Repeated abnormal movement between joints -> stress
| |
− | ** -> Degeneration of [[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology#Fibrocartilagenous joints|''annulus fibrosis'']]
| |
− | ** -> [[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Osteophyte]] formation
| |
− | *In dogs usually no symptoms
| |
− | *In bulls may cause inability to mount
| |
− | *In severe cases repeated damage may progress to recurrent posterior weakness and ataxia in conjuction with fractures of spondylitic and vertebral bone

− | *Autoantibodies against collagens seen in the joint fluid – no relationship to the disease (ie: not an autoimmune disease) – can be seen in any joint disease

| |
− | | |
− | *From glucocorticoids injected into joint as antiinflammatories
| |
− | *Injection sometimes causes rapid progression of degeneration
| |
− | *Glucocortyicois suppress anabolic effect of chondrocytes -> reduction of cartilage matrix syhthesis -> proteoglycan depletion -> slower repair
