Retrospective Radiographic Study of Degenerative Joint Disease in Cats: Prevalence Based on Orthogonal Radiographs

Abstract: Feline degenerative joint disease (DJD) has been reported worldwide. Radiographic evidence, including that from single-plane radiographs, has been used for diagnosis in these reports, though orthogonal radiographs are generally required to diagnose DJD. However, more orthogonal radiographs are required for diagnosis. In this study, we investigated how many orthogonal radiographs are necessary to diagnose feline DJD among domestic short-haired cats. We analyzed the data from 101 cats for which the owners reques… Show more

“…The latter findings confirm the previous belief that bilateral disease is a core component of feline DJD. It should, however, be noted that, whereas previous studies estimated the prevalence of bilateral DJD based on radiographic and/or orthopaedic examination findings, 2 , 3 , 7 , 32 34 the higher prevalence detected in this study was a direct reflection of bilateral pain detected exclusively during the orthopaedic examination.…”
