Clinical evaluation of the osteoarthritic patient
Abstract
Clinical evaluation of the osteoarthritic patient involves critical evaluation off the animal and associated medical history. The most useful diagnostic aids in veterinary practice include joint palpation, radiography, and arthrocentesis. Accurate patient assessment provides diagnostic and prognostic information as well as serving as a baseline for medical or surgical therapies.
