Radiological evaluation of spondylosis deformans in the lumbar and lumbosacral vertebrae of dogs: breed, age, and gender associations

Spondylosis deformans (SD) is a common form of degenerative spinal disease in dogs, characterized byosseous bridging between vertebral bodies. This study focused on the lumbar and lumbosacral regions ofthe spine and analyzed radiographic records of 35 dogs of various breeds and age groups over a 12-...

Spine spondylosis deformans dogs radiology computed tomography Columna vertebral espondilosis deformante perros radiología tomografía computarizada Spondylosis deformans (SD) is a common form of degenerative spinal disease in dogs, characterized byosseous bridging between vertebral bodies. This study focused on the lumbar and lumbosacral regions ofthe spine and analyzed radiographic records of 35 dogs of various breeds and age groups over a 12-monthperiod. Computed tomography (CT) was selectively employed in cases where radiographic interpretationwas inconclusive. The objective was to determine lesion localization and assess associations with breed, age,and gender. Findings showed that German Shepherds were most frequently diagnosed with SD, followedby Labrador Retrievers and mixed-breed dogs. Age distribution indicated that no cases were observed indogs aged 1-2 years, while the highest prevalence occurred in the 7-10-year age group. Lesion localizationdata revealed that the L4-L6 region was most commonly affected. These results highlight the age-relatedprogression of SD and its predilection for the lumbar spine, offering valuable insights for clinical assessmentand management in veterinary practice. La espondilosis deformante (ED) es una forma prevalente de enfermedad degenerativa de la columna vertebral en perros, caracterizada por la formación de puentes óseos entre los cuerpos vertebrales. Este estudio se centró en las regiones lumbar y lumbosacra de la columna vertebral y analizó registros radiográficos de 35 perros de diferentes razas y grupos etarios durante un período de 12 meses. La tomografía computarizada (TC) se utilizó de manera selectiva en los casos en que la interpretación radiográfica no fue concluyente, con el objetivo de evaluar la localización, así como la distribución por raza, edad y sexo donde la espondilosis deformante fue detectada. Los resultados mostraron que los Pastores Alemanes fueron los más frecuentemente diagnosticados, seguidos por los Labradores Retriever y los perros mestizos. La distribución por edad reveló que la ED estuvo ausente en perros de 1 a 2 años, pero fue más común en el grupo de 7 a 10 años. Los datos de localización indicaron que la región L4–L6 fue la más frecuentemente afectada. Estos resultados subrayan la naturaleza relacionada con la edad de la ED y su asociación con la columna lumbar, proporcionando información esencial para la práctica veterinaria.
