To report repair of a coxofemoral joint luxation in an Alpaca using a toggle-pin technique.
Case report.
An 11-month intact male Alpaca with luxation of the right coxofemoral joint.
The Alpaca was anesthetized and an open repair and reduction of the luxation was performed using a toggle-pin technique.
The luxation was successfully reduced. An Ehmer sling was used for the initial 3 days after surgery and the Alpaca was discharged 7 days postoperatively without complications. Follow-up examinations confirmed maintained reduction of the coxofemoral joint, as well as no evidence of lameness or muscle atrophy.
Coxofemoral joint luxations in Alpacas can be successfully repaired using a toggle-pin technique alone, without the need for other techniques such as capsular reconstruction or greater trochanter transposition. Use of an Ehmer sling for the immediate postoperative period provided additional protection to the repair and was tolerated well.
报告使用肘节销技术修复一只羊驼的股关节脱位。
病例报告。
一只11个月大的未阉割雄性羊驼，右侧股关节脱位。
对羊驼进行麻醉，采用肘节销技术进行开放性修复和脱位复位。
脱位成功复位。术后最初3天使用埃默吊带，术后7天羊驼出院，无并发症。随访检查证实股关节持续复位，且无跛行或肌肉萎缩迹象。
羊驼的股关节脱位仅使用肘节销技术即可成功修复，无需其他技术，如关节囊重建或大转子转位。术后立即使用埃默吊带可为修复提供额外保护，且耐受性良好。
