This report describes the case of a 15-month-old alpaca stallion with an open fracture of metatarsus (MT) III/IV that occurred during transportation. Despite of a guarded prognosis, the animal was operated on request of the owner. The surgical intervention consisted of meticulous lavage and curettage of the wound and affected bone, precise fracture reduction, internal fixation with a 12-hole broad 3.5 mm DCP and implantation of a gentamicin impregnated collagen sponge. Primary wound healing was evident and the implant was removed at 3 months after the initial intervention. At 14 months after surgery, the stallion did not show any signs of lameness and was used for service.
本报告描述了一匹15个月大的雄性羊驼病例，该羊驼在运输过程中发生了第三/四跖骨开放性骨折。尽管预后不佳，但应主人要求对该动物进行了手术。手术干预包括对伤口和受影响的骨骼进行细致的冲洗和刮除、精确的骨折复位、用12孔宽3.5毫米动力加压钢板进行内固定以及植入庆大霉素浸渍的胶原海绵。伤口一期愈合明显，在初次干预后3个月取出植入物。术后14个月，这匹种马没有表现出任何跛行迹象，并用于配种。
