This system allows delineation of varying areas of chondral pathology, based on the qualitative appearance of the cartilage surface, and can assist in identifying those injuries that are suitable for repair techniques. The characterization of cartilage in this system is as follows: Grade I – Softening with swelling Grade II – Fragmentation and fissuring less than one square centimeter (1 cm2) Grade III – Fragmentation and fissuring greater than one square centimeter

  • The Pelvis Structure the Pelvic Region Is the Lower Part of the Trunk
    The pelvis Structure The pelvic region is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs. It includes several structures: the bony pelvis (or pelvic skeleton) is the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk, subdivided into: the pelvic girdle (i.e., the two hip bones, which are part of the appendicular skeleton), which connects the spine to the lower limbs, and the pelvic region of the spine (i.e., sacrum, and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton) the pelvic cavity, is defined as the whole space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, subdivided into: the greater (or false) pelvis, above the pelvic brim , the lesser (or true) pelvis, below the pelvic brim delimited inferiorly by the pelvic floor(or pelvic diaphragm), which is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis. Pelvic floor separate the pelvic cavity above from the perineum below. The pelvic skeleton is formed posteriorly (in the area of the back), by the sacrum and the coccyx and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the sides), by a pair of hip bones. Each hip bone consists of 3 sections, ilium, ischium, and pubis. During childhood, these sections are separate bones, joined by the triradiate hyaline cartilage. They join each other in a Y-shaped portion of cartilage in the acetabulum. By the end of puberty the three bones will have fused together, and by the age of 25 they will have ossified. The two hip bones join each other at the pubic symphysis.

  • Corrective Ulnar Osteotomy/-Ectomy
    Post-operative Information: Corrective ulnar osteotomy/-ectomy Your pet has had a growth abnormality of the ulna (bone of forearm) corrected with either a high ulnar osteotomy or a low ulnar ostectomy or both. These procedures are used to correct developmental abnormalities of the elbow and/or the wrist (which often are both present to some degree). The key to success with these procedures is that the remaining bone growth will continue after surgery and slowly bring the elbow and/or the wrist back into alignment. Long term joint stiffness and degenerative joint disease (i.e. “arthritis”) may be a complication of these growth abnormalities that may need to be managed. ACTIVITY RESTRICTION x 6 weeks . Please keep your pet in a comfortable, safe indoor location without free access to stairs for the next 24 hours as he/she recovers from anesthesia and surgery. Your pet may be groggy for the first few days. He or she may whine or appear more anxious than usual; this may indicate pain/discomfort or side-effects of the medications. Please call your veterinarian for assistance with medication adjustments or return for exam and additional pain medications as needed. Confine your pet to one level/section of the house on carpeted floors. Use baby gaits, etc. to prevent access to slick floors or stairs. Do not allow jumping on/off furniture. Confine to a small area/room/crate when unattended. Please do not allow any playing, running or jumping. For dogs, use a short leash when going outside to urinate/defecate. Your pet will feel like using the leg normally before the bone is healed.

The mismatch can arise from subtle morphologic alterations in the anatomy or orientation of the ball-and-socket components (for example, a bony prominence at the head-neck junction or acetabular over-coverage) with articular cartilage damage initially occurring from abutment of the femoral neck against the acetabular rim, typically at the anterosui per or aspect of the acetabulum. Although hip joints can possess the morphologic features of FAI without symptoms, FAI may become pathologic with repetitive movement and/or increased force on the hip joint. High-demand activities may also result in pathologic impingement in hips with normal morphology. s It ha been proposed that impingement with damage to the labrum and/or acetabulum is a causative factor in the development of hip osteoarthritis, and that as many as half of cases currently categorized as primary osteoarthritis may have an etiology of FAI.

  • Tragelaphus Spekii
    ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Anatomy Journal of Africa. 2021. Vol 10 (1):1974-1979 GROSS ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE HIND LIMB OF THE SITATUNGA (Tragelaphus spekii). Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama, Sulaiman Olawoye Salami, Esther Solomon Kigir, Alhaji Zubair Jaji Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria Abbreviated title: Hind limb bones of the Sitatunga Corresponding address: Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama. Telephone number: 08036425961. E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sitatunga, Tragelaphus spekii, is a swamp dwelling antelope resident in West Africa. This study was carried out to document unique morphological and numerical information on the hind limb bones of this ruminant. Two (2) adults of both sexes were obtained as carcass at different times after post-mortem examination and prepared to extract the bones via cold water maceration for use in the study. The presence of a sharp pointed ilio-pubic eminence at the junction between the cranial border of the ilium and pubis; less prominent ischial tuber, inconspicuous ischiatic arch and a large oval obturator foramen were unique features of the Ossa coxarum that distinguished it from that of small ruminants. The Femur’s medial condyle was obliquely orientated, the fibula was absent while the long Tibia was typical of ruminant presentation. It was observed that the morphological features of the tarsals and Pes were also typical. However, the last Phalanges presented characteristic long triangular shaped bones with sharp pointed ends. The total number of bones making up the forelimb was accounted to be 45. In conclusion, this study has provided a baseline data for further biological, archeological and comparative anatomical studies.
