Manifestations of joint disease of domestic carnivores in X-ray view

Abstract

Changes caused by joint diseases that are manifested in X-ray are very diverse. Some of them are present in all arthroparthies while some are specific to certain diseases. For all the arthropathies it is specific that the duration of a disease significantly influences the presence and intensity of radiological changes. In this paper there analyzed in detail some basic radiological joint diseases manifestations such as: distension of the joint capsule, change of size (width) of the joint space, change of position of corresponding bones within the joint, change in quality of subchondral bone, the appearance of intra-articular mineralization and calcified structures, as well as the presence of perichondral and periarticular bone proliferations. Beside that, there are described in detail arthropathies of different etiology.

Promene kojim se oboljenja zglobova manifestuju u rendgenskoj slici su veoma raznovrsne. Neke od njih postoje kod svih artropatija dok su druge specificne samo za pojedina oboljenja. Za sve artropatije je karakteristično da dužina trajanja bolesti značajno utiče na zastupljenost i intenzitet radioloških promena. U radu su detaljno analizirane osnovne radiološke manifestacije oboljenja zglobova kao što su: distenzija zglobne kapsule, promena veličine (širine) zglobnog prostora, promena položaja korespondirajućih kostiju u okviru zgloba, promena kvaliteta subhobdralne kosti, pojava intraartikularnih mineralizacija i kalcifikovanih struktura, kao i prisustvo perihondralnih i periartikularnih koštanih proliferacija. Pored toga, detaljno su opisane i artropatije različite etiologije.
