Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

An inflammation of a synovial membrane.

CONT

This membrane lines joints which possess cavities, known as synovial joints. The condition is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved.

Key term(s)
  • infectious synovitis

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des animaux
DEF

Inflammation aiguë ou chronique d'une synoviale articulaire ou tendineuse.

CONT

Une synovite peut notamment se trouver liée à une infection intra-articulaire (arthrite septique), à une maladie systémique (lupus érythémateux disséminé), à une arthrite inflammatoire (polyarthrite rhumatoïde, spondylarthrite ankylosante) ou microcristalline (goutte, chondrocalcinose articulaire). Toutes les articulations sont susceptibles d'être atteintes.

Record 11 2005-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
  • Horse Husbandry
DEF

Common acute or chronic inflammation of the joint capsule of the carpus and the associated structures in horses.

CONT

Some confusion exists regarding the terms carpitis and osselets; therefore, a definition is appropriate. Carpitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the carpal joint that may involve the fibrous joint capsule, synovial membrane, associated ligaments, and bones of the carpus... Osselets has been defined as a traumatic arthritis of the metacarpophalangeal joint. It is more appropriate to restrict the term osselets to describe the thickening associated with synovitis and capsulitis of the fibrous joint capsule at the dorsal aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joint. Ossification can develop as a chronic change.

CONT

Knee spavin - Bony growth at back of knee on inner side.

CONT

"Popped knees" is a layman’s term used to describe enlargement in the front of the carpal joints of a horse. The knees look like they have "popped out."

CONT

The acute form is common in Thoroughbreds in training. Carpitis is usually attributed to concussion from hard training, especially in immature and unfit horses. Injury to the dorsal aspect of the carpus is a common cause, especially in hunters and jumpers.

OBS

There is pain and swelling and there may be exostoses in chronic cases.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des animaux
  • Élevage des chevaux
DEF

Inflammation du carpe impliquant les os, et/ou la capsule articulaire et/ou les ligaments.

  • Animal Diseases
DEF

Periosteal inflammation on the anterior aspect of the epiphysis of the large metacarpal bone, the proximal end of the first phalanx and the joint capsule of the fetlock. Caused by overtraining of young horses.

CONT

Some confusion exists regarding the terms carpitis and osselets; therefore, a definition is appropriate. Carpitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the carpal joint that may involve the fibrous joint capsule synovial membrane, associated ligaments, and bones of the carpus... Osselets has been defined as a traumatic arthritis of the metacarpophalangeal joint. It is more appropriate to restrict the term osselets to describe the thickening associated with synovitis and capulitis of the fibrous joint capsule at the dorsal aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joint. Ossification can develop as a chronic change.

L'arthrite chronique déformante du carpe est commune chez le cheval mais beaucoup moins chez d'autres animaux [...] Ce sont surtout les gros chevaux de trait et les chevaux de selle qui sont affectés; les sauteurs et les trotteurs, dont les actions entraînent une flexion extrême du carpe sont spécialement prédisposés. [...] Les lésions intéressent principalement le périoste, la capsule articulaire et les ligaments articulaires, où elles apparaissent sous la forme d'enflures diffuses, de consistance osseuse, de l'articulation.
