Forty-three dogs with carpal laxity syndrome were included in the study. The cases were assessed with clinical and radiographical examinations. The case histories were obtained from patient owners. We recommended exercise and commercially available balanced diets for the treatment. In all cases, the clinical recovery period varied between one to four weeks. Healing occurred by the second week in the majority of cases (65.11%). The deformity was observed more frequently in male dogs (n = 30) than in female dogs (n = 13), and in six- to eight-week-old dogs. Carpal Laxity Syndrome is a more general term, used for both hyperextension and hyperflexion deformity. Malnutrition or over-nutrition of rapidly growing large breed puppies causes weakness and irregular tension between extensor and flexor muscle groups, which leads to laxity of the carpal joint. Exercise and commercially available balanced diets without any other treatment is usually enough to achieve physical and functional recovery.
43只患有腕关节松弛综合征的犬被纳入该研究。通过临床和影像学检查对病例进行评估。病例病史来自宠物主人。我们推荐通过运动和市售的均衡饮食进行治疗。在所有病例中，临床恢复期为1至4周不等。大多数病例（65.11%）在第二周时愈合。畸形在雄性犬（n = 30）中比雌性犬（n = 13）中更常见，且多见于6至8周龄的犬。腕关节松弛综合征是一个更通用的术语，用于描述过度伸展和过度屈曲畸形。快速生长的大型犬幼犬营养不良或营养过剩会导致伸肌和屈肌肌群之间的无力和张力不均，从而导致腕关节松弛。运动和市售的均衡饮食，无需任何其他治疗，通常足以实现身体和功能的恢复。
