Rupture of the dorsal ligaments of the tarsus in the greyhound is a rare racing injury. This case report describes dorsal tarsal instability in three greyhounds. A stumble and somersault were observed in two cases and were thought to have caused the injury. Previous reports advocate partial intertarsal arthrodesis as the preferred treatment for dorsal instability of the proximal intertarsal joint, but not all dogs returned to successful racing. In these three cases, stability was restored by the insertion of a wire tension band anchored to two bone screws, allowing the development of periarticular fibrosis. The dogs raced again with no loss of form.
灵缇跗骨背侧韧带断裂是一种罕见的赛跑损伤。本病例报告描述了三只灵缇的跗骨背侧不稳定情况。在两例中观察到绊倒和翻滚，认为是由此导致损伤。先前的报告主张部分跗间关节融合术作为近端跗间关节背侧不稳定的首选治疗方法，但并非所有犬只都能成功恢复赛跑。在这三例中，通过插入固定在两枚骨螺钉上的钢丝张力带恢复了稳定性，促进了关节周围纤维化的形成。这些犬只再次参赛，状态未受影响。
