The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel reverse-transverse cross pin insertion technique could increase the stability of type II external skeletal fixators (ESF) in dogs compared with an alternate, same side cross pin ESF. Reverse-transverse cross pin technique and type II ESFs same side cross pin technique were applied and compared among subjects. Two of 42 ESFs (4.8%) applied with the reverse-transverse cross pin technique and 39 of 47 ESFs (83%) applied with the same side cross pin technique were subjectively unstable at the time of fixator removal (P < 0.001). The same side cross pin ESFs had significantly more pin tract new bone formation than the reverse-transverse ESFs (P = 0.038). In summary, this approach may provide a method of treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and soft tissue cases, which reverse-transverse cross pin ESFs are tolerated in dogs for a variety of conditions.
本研究的目的是确定与另一种同侧交叉针外固定支架（ESF）相比，一种新型反向横向交叉针插入技术是否能提高犬II型外固定支架（ESF）的稳定性。对受试对象应用并比较反向横向交叉针技术和II型ESF同侧交叉针技术。采用反向横向交叉针技术应用的42个ESF中有2个（4.8%）以及采用同侧交叉针技术应用的47个ESF中有39个（83%）在拆除固定器时主观上不稳定（P<0.001）。同侧交叉针ESF的针道新骨形成明显多于反向横向ESF（P = 0.038）。总之，这种方法可能提供一种治疗各种肌肉骨骼疾病和软组织病例的方法，反向横向交叉针ESF在犬类中可耐受各种情况。
