Abstract
Acute chemical arthritis was induced in right radiocarpal joints of eight cow calves by intraarticular injections of turpentine oil. They were randomly divided into two groups A and B of four calves each. Group A served as control. Group B was given therapeutic ultrasound at 2.0W/cm2 for 7 minutes daily for 7 days starting on day 5. On day 19, all the calves of both the groups were slaughtered. Grossly as well as microscopically, joint tissues of group A calves showed severe inflammatory and degenerative changes. Joint capsule of group B calves showed regeneration of synovial membrane and articular cartilage was normal grossly as well as microscopically.
