Leczenie złamań kości promieniowej i kości łokciowej u psów rasowych przy użyciu okólnego zewnętrznego mocowania szkieletowego – badanie retrospektywne

Twenty fractures in 16 dogs satisfied the criteria for inclusion into this study. The breeds of dogs included eight Italian Grey-hounds, four Miniature Pinschers, one Pomeranian, one Chihuahua, one Yorkshire Terrier, and one mixed-breed dog. Five dogs were males and 11 were females. Mean age was 14.7 ± 11.8 months (range: 4-50 months) and mean body weight was 3.2 ± 1.2 kg (range: 1.0-4.5 kg). There were 17 left antebrachial fractures and three were right antebrachial fractures.

All fractures were caused by minor trauma. Only one fracture was open. Eleven fractures were transverse and nine fractures were short oblique. The mean time from injury to surgery was three days (range: 1-15 days). Three dogs had a history of pre-vious fracture of the same antebrachium, which had been treated by external coaptation. The prior fractures had obtained union but with residual deformity in the frontal plane in two dogs, and in the sagittal plane in the third dog.

Reduction was achieved in a closed fashion in 18 fractures. In two malunited fractures, affected by preexisting frontal plane deformity, a medial mini-approach and acute corrective osteotomy was performed. Because of the importance of frontal alignment for limb function, we decided to only correct the angulation in the malunions with valgus deformities. A preassembled hinged frame was prepared based on preoperative radiographs of the malunion in both dogs. The [...]
