Surgical treatment of Achilles tendon rupture in dogs is generally associated with a favourable outcome, although the recovery time to best function is relatively long at 20.2 weeks. Dogs with injuries of less than 21 days duration may have a better functional outcome. When comparing external fixator application to splint or cast management, initial tibiotarsal immobilization method does not significantly affect the complication rate, duration of immobilization, recovery time, or functional outcome.
犬跟腱断裂的手术治疗通常预后良好,尽管恢复至最佳功能的时间相对较长,为20.2周。受伤时间少于21天的犬可能功能预后更好。比较外固定器应用与夹板或石膏固定治疗时,初始胫跗关节固定方法对并发症发生率、固定持续时间、恢复时间或功能预后无显著影响。
