“…An infectious disease can also cause necrosis: the infection of synovial fluid at the hip joint can prevent regular blood supply to the epiphysis of the femoral head (Ettinger & Feldman, 2010; Filho et al, 2011; Thrall, 2017). Intramedullary neoplasms or vascular abnormalities, such as thrombosis, are also suspected factors in the development of the disease (Cardoso et al, 2018; Jankovits et al, 2012; Kobayashi et al, 2015; Vezzoni et al, 2010). These different elements would also be aggravated by the unsuitable conformation of the small dog skeleton, which cannot resist trauma and vascular anomalies (Denny, 2006).…”

A case report of possible Legg–Calve–Perthes disease on Roman dogs from Gaul (France)

This case study reviews the first archeological cases of avascular femoral head necrosis, known as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, on two small Roman dogs from ancient Gaul (France). LCPD diagnosis is difficult in advanced degenerative stages of the disease and one of its differential diagnoses is slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).In both cases presented here, the development of this disease is probably related to the small morphology of the two dogs. Small dogs appeared to emerge in the Roman Empire when the dog became highly specialized. This disease raises questions about the health conditions of these small dogs in Roman times.

Se reporta el caso de una cabra macho de raza alpina de 7 meses de edad, que presentaba claudicación del miembro posterior derecho sin causa definida. Se realizaron los exámenes clínicos y radiográficos, sugiriendo luxación traumática o necrosis avascular de cabeza femoral con consecuente enfermedad degenerativa articular. Se realizó tratamiento quirúrgico mediante artroplastia por excisión de cabeza y cuello femoral. El estudio histopatológico mediante la coloración de hematoxilina y eosina describió: hueso necrótico, lagunas conteniendo osteocitos necróticos, además de médula ósea necrótica. Esta información comprobó el diagnóstico de necrosis avascular de la cabeza y cuello femoral. En el post quirúrgico, la recuperación clínica del paciente se consideró buena, mitigando el dolor y mejorando la función del miembro afectado. El presente caso se trata del primer reporte de esta enfermedad en caprinos en el Perú.

“…The affected limb, the radiographic evidence of necrosis of the femoral head, the history and clinical signs on presentation, the age and time of occurrence and the type of treatment and clinical management protocol applied were also evaluated. The lesions of the disease observed were subsequently classified based on the radiological appearance and stage of development of the lesions seen and graded from 1 to 5 as described in Table 1 (Kobayashi et al, 2015;Cardoso et al, 2016). Radiographic changes seen in the clinical radiographs (Figure 1-6) were also recorded according to the lesion grades presented.…”

“…Radiographic findings may reveal enlargement at early stages and a flattening or collapse of the femoral head at late stages. Hip dysplasia is often considered for the differential diagnosis in dogs (Ginja et al, 2010;Kobayashi et al, 2015). However, hip dysplasia may present a history of chronic onset with occasional micro-fracture, but there is no significant range of sub-chondral bone necrosis and degeneration (Ginja et al, 2010;Kobayashi et al, 2015).…”

The study evaluated the prevalence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in dogs in Delta State, Nigeria. For ten years, data of cases presented to Veterinary Clinics in five government clinics in Delta state were evaluated and analysed. The breed of dog, sex, age on presentation, the limb affected and the radiographic appearance of the lesions on presentation were reviewed. The treatment and clinical management approaches were also reviewed and discussed. Of the cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head recorded (N = 24) for the period under review, breed prevalence recorded 62.5% (Alsatians); 16.67% (Caucasians) and 20.83% (Mixed Breeds). Sex prevalence recorded 79.17% females and 20.83% males. According to age at the time of the first presentation, 83.83% of the affected dogs were 6-12month old, 12.5% were 13-24month old, and 4.16% were 25–36 month-old. Lameness was observed in 91.67%, while 8.33% of cases presented non-weight bearing lameness. Pain in the limbs during palpation of the hip joint was detected in 100% of the cases. Atrophy in the hind limb was identified in 41.66% of the patients, while 62.5% of the dogs showed different degrees of medial patellar luxation. In 91.6% of cases, the disease was unilateral, with 63.63% unilateral lesions in the right hind limb and 36.37% in the left hind limb. The study results showed a high prevalence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in large breeds of dogs in the Delta state. The management of the disease is mainly conservative with poor follow-up. Cost of surgery and management may discourage owners from follow up. However, surgery remains the gold stand of care for managing avascular necrosis of the femoral head in dogs.
