Radiographic features of feline joint diseases

Abstract

Feline joint disorders are often overlooked, possibly because cats are extremely agile and appear to cope with pathologic changes within their joints better than their canine counterparts. There is a growing awareness that osteoarthritis occurs more frequently than previously anticipated in cats, and recently we have seen the emergence of hip dysplasia as an entity of concern in some purebred cats. There are also several poorly understood conditions that affect the joints of cats, such as synovial osteochondromatosis, that invite further study. In recent years we have seen an expansion in the knowledge of immune-mediated and infectious arthropathies and their inter-relationship with infective agents. This article describes the radiographic changes seen in many of the currently recognized joint disorders of domestic cats.
