This article primarily reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of osteoarthritis but also briefly discusses immune-mediated arthritides. Given the frequency of occurrence of arthritis in veterinary patients, it is crucial that clinicians be aware of the mechanisms of the disease and be comfortable with diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately,there is a great deal of information still to be learned in regards to management of these cases. Because of the rapid and continuing research gains, it behooves clinicians to maintain a current awareness of the related literature.
本文主要回顾骨关节炎的病理生理学、诊断和治疗，同时也简要讨论免疫介导性关节炎。鉴于关节炎在兽医临床病例中的高发率，临床医生了解该疾病的发病机制并熟悉诊断和治疗方法至关重要。不幸的是，在这些病例的管理方面仍有大量信息有待了解。由于研究的快速持续进展，临床医生理应随时了解相关文献。
