The aim of the here described case series was to develop and evaluate the minimally invasive percutaneous osteosynthesis for the plate fixation of tibial fractures in dogs and cats.
Six dogs and four cats with shaft fractures of the tibia were treated using minimally invasive percutaneous osteosynthesis. Follow-up radiographs four to six weeks after fracture fixation were evaluated for fracture healing. For the long-term follow-up (minimum 2.4 years), owners were contacted by phone to complete a questionnaire.
All fractures healed without the need for a second procedure. Follow-up radiographs obtained after four to six weeks in seven cases showed advanced bony healing with callus formation and filling of the fracture gaps with calcified tissue in all seven. All the patients had a good to excellent long-term result with full limb function. The time needed for regaining full limb use was two to three months.
Minimally invasive percutaneous osteosynthesis seems to be a useful technique for the treatment of tibial shaft fractures in dogs and cats.
本病例系列的目的是开发并评估用于犬猫胫骨骨折钢板固定的微创经皮骨固定术。
对6只犬和4只猫的胫骨干骨折采用微创经皮骨固定术进行治疗。在骨折固定后4至6周进行随访X线片检查,以评估骨折愈合情况。为进行长期随访(至少2.4年),通过电话联系主人以完成一份调查问卷。
所有骨折均愈合,无需二次手术。7例在4至6周后获得的随访X线片显示,均有骨痂形成,骨折间隙被钙化组织填充,提示骨愈合进展良好。所有患者长期效果良好至极佳,肢体功能完全恢复。恢复肢体完全使用所需时间为2至3个月。
微创经皮骨固定术似乎是治疗犬猫胫骨干骨折的一种有用技术。
