Abstract

This report describes the successful use of the novel fixed-angle locking plating system ALPS (advanced locking plate system) in the case of dorsal tarsometatarsal instability in a cat. Partial arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal joint was performed with a two hole ALPS 5 and two 2.4 mm selftapping locking screws through a small dorsal approach. Five days after the surgery the cat was walking without lameness. Radiographs made after six weeks showed uneventful healing. ALPS offers an alternative to existing plating systems when selecting an implant for the stabilisation of dorsal tarsometatarsal instabilities in cats.

摘要

本报告描述了新型固定角度锁定钢板系统ALPS（先进锁定钢板系统）在一只猫跗跖背侧不稳定病例中的成功应用。通过一个小的背侧入路，使用两孔ALPS 5钢板和两枚2.4毫米自攻锁定螺钉对跗跖关节进行了部分关节固定术。术后五天，这只猫行走时无跛行。六周后拍摄的X光片显示愈合顺利。在为猫的跗跖背侧不稳定选择稳定植入物时，ALPS为现有钢板系统提供了一种替代方案。
