Resumen
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by affecting the joint, causing loss and dysfunction of articular cartilage, muscle atrophy and bone changes, causing joint and musculoskeletal pain, as well as disability. Predisposing factors include age, sex, breed (German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Bernese Mountain Dog, Mastiff, Saint Bernard, Dogue de Bordeaux, Basset Hound, Border Collie, Irish Wolfhound, and small breed Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Yorkshire terrier and French Bulldog), obesity and underlying diseases. This disease has a high economic cost for the owner. A correct diagnosis of the disease is important, including clinical examination, staging (mild, moderate, severe) and diagnostic aids such as radiology, which is very useful. Currently, multimodal therapy obtains better results because it includes: non-pharmacological, pharmacological, regenerative, surgical, and homeopathic treatment.
