Abstract

Two horses with lameness due to tolocalcaneal osteoarthritis that failed to respond to conservative management were treated by tolocalcaneal arthrodesis using cortex screws placed in lag fashion. The affected joint of one horse was arthrodesed by compressing and stabilizing the medial facet of the joint with three screws. In the second horse, the medial and lateral facets of the affected tolocalcaneal joint were each compressed and stabilized with two screws. The lameness of both horses improved markedly following surgery.

摘要

两匹因跗关节骨关节炎而跛行且对保守治疗无反应的马，采用拉力螺钉置入法进行跗关节融合术治疗。一匹马的患关节通过用三颗螺钉压缩并固定关节内侧小平面进行关节融合。在第二匹马中，患跗关节的内侧和外侧小平面分别用两颗螺钉进行压缩和固定。两匹马术后跛行均明显改善。
