JOINTS
this joint is affected in cases of trailer fall/ hunter's bump in which the elevated side is the affected side
sacroiliac joint
what condition is related to tibial nerve injury. describe it
stringhalt-like gait
involuntary flexion of the hock
name the components of the reciprocal apparatus and the mechanism behind it
BONUS: what happens when one of the components is ruptured
peroneus tertius cranially and SDF tendon caudally
2 structures will keep a synchronized motion between the stifle joint and hock joint
BONUS: ruptured peroneus leads to flexed stifle and extended hock; laxity of achilis (CCT)
the tendon of insertion of the gluteal medius muscle on the greater trochanter of the femur forms
trochanteric bursa
what are the landmarks for injecting the femoral-patellar joint
between the middle and lateral patellar ligaments
between the middle and medial patellar ligaments
how many joints does the stifle joint have, name them, and what are their levels of communication?
2
femoral-patellar
femoral-tibial: medial pouch communicates with FP up to 85% and the lateral communicates with FP up to 25%
during paralysis of this nerve, it may often present similarly to sole abscess
sciatic, toe- touch lameness
what 2 components reduce/ prevent hip dysplasia
ligament of the head of the femur (originates from the fovea of the head of the femur and inserts on acetabular floor)
accessory ligament of the head of the femur coming from the prepubic tendon (inserts in the fovea in the head of the femur)
what muscles make up the common calcanean tendon (5)
superficial digital flexor
gastrocnemius
semitendinosus
biceps femoris
gracilis
what are the points of occurrence in chronological order of osteoarthritis of the stifle
medial compartment, medial meniscus, condyle
2. femoropatellar joint
name the points of the tarsus joint in a chronological order of occurrence of OCD
1. distal intermediate ridge of tibia
2. lateral trochlear ridge of talus
3. medial malleolus of tibia
4. medial trochlear ridge of talus
paralysis of this nerve will lead to collapse of the stifle and hyperflexion
femoral
the medial tendon of the tibialis cranialis muscle can be cut for treatment of ______ in the hock
arthritis/ bone spavin
describe the points of cutting during a lateral digital tenotomy
at the musculo-tendonous junction
just before it joins the tendon of the long digital extensor
these 4 components make up the patellary locking mechanism
lateral patellar ligament
medial patellar ligament
patellar fibrocartilage
patella
list the components of the distal intertarsal joint of the hock
central tarsal bone, 1 and 2 tarsal bones fused, and 3rd and 4th tarsal bones
this nerve supplies the extensor of the stifle (quadriceps) and the flexors of the hip (psoas major and ilicus)
femoral nerve
subcutaneous bursa
between skin and tendon of SDF
what 2 muscles are used for IM injections following the neck
semi-membranosus and semi-tendinosus
"curb"/ tissue swelling is related to this ligament
long plantar ligament
what is the landmark for injecting the tarsocrural and proximal intertarsal joints of the hock
dorsomedial pouch of the tarsocrural joint
what process is the obturator nerve associated with and what muscles does it supply
foaling/ parturition
gracilis and pectineus muscles
procedure done to release the patella/ treat locking
medial patellar ligament desmotomy
what muscles are the flexors of the stifle?
semi-mem, semi-tend, biceps femoris
what is the difference between bone spavin and bog spavin?
bone spavin- bony change/ arthritis; tarsometatarsal and distal intertarsal joints
bog spavin- swelling that forms an exudate; antero-medial aspect of hock
