Medical records of 20 dogs with 23 shearing injuries of the tarsus leading to joint instability were reviewed. A transarticular external skeletal fixation device or prosthetic ligament was used to stabilize the joints. The most common complications were fixator failure and implant infection. The median times for wound healing and maximal joint function were 10 and 12 weeks, respectively. Clinical outcome was excellent in 22%, good in 56%, and poor in 22%. Comparison of the two stabilization methods showed no statistically significant differences in healing time, time to regain function, or clinical outcome.
回顾了20只犬的23处跗关节剪切伤导致关节不稳定的病历。采用跨关节外固定架或人工韧带稳定关节。最常见的并发症是固定器失效和植入物感染。伤口愈合和关节功能恢复到最大值的中位时间分别为10周和12周。临床结果为优的占22%，良的占56%，差的占22%。两种稳定方法的比较显示，在愈合时间、恢复功能时间或临床结果方面无统计学显著差异。
