Abstract:

 

The use of arthroscopy and arthrography in order to describe the stifle joint lesions causing lameness in dogs was studied,  and a comparison of the results of these techniques was made. For the experimental part of the study,survey radiographs were  taken, arthrography and arthroscopy were performed consencutively in 20 stifle joints of 10 clinically healthy dogs of different  breed, sex, age, and weight. The same procedures were performed in 3 cases which were referred to the Department of Surgery.  According to the results,while it is possible to detect the bony tissue and stifle joint space in direct radiography,the suprapatellar  pouch,plate of tibia,meniscus,joint cartilage and capsula were detected with arthrography. However, the best visualisation of the  joint and related structures can be obtained by using arhroscopy. In conclusion,arthrography alone is not thought to be sufficient  for a reliable diagnosis, but using arthrography with arthroscopy together was decided to be the most suitable technique for the  diagnosis of joint diseases in dogs.
