Abstract
Congenital arthropathies have become a common cause of osteoarthritis in dogs. Current concepts of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases are discussed. In all cases, early diagnosis and treatment are considered essential to achieve the best possible. prognosis for the patient. Treatment options may include medical management, but most of these conditions currently are thought to be treated best by surgical intervention. There still is great need for the development of studies to investigate the long-term efficacy of current treatment protocols and to develop new therapies that will either minimize or prevent the development of osteoarthritis in affected joints following treatment of the patient with a congenital arthropathy.
