A 2-year-old Maltese was presented with wobbly gait of the pelvic limbs. Based on imaging examinations, a diagnosis of congenital malformation at T5-T8 and severe kyphosis causing spinal cord compression at T6-T7 was made. Dorsal laminectomy and stabilization of T6 and T7 vertebrae were performed. As the size of the vertebrae was small and they were severely deformed, novel custom-made titanium implants were used for spinal stabilization. Clinical signs were resolved 2 weeks after surgery. Although radiographic examination 373 days after surgery showed slight loosening of implants, post-operative course remained uneventful. This report describes the use of novel custom-made titanium implants for spinal fixation surgery in a dog.
一只2岁的马尔济斯犬出现后肢摇摆步态。基于影像学检查，诊断为T5 - T8先天性畸形以及严重驼背导致T6 - T7脊髓受压。进行了T6和T7椎板切除术及椎体固定术。由于椎骨尺寸小且严重变形，使用了新型定制钛植入物进行脊柱固定。术后2周临床症状消失。尽管术后373天的影像学检查显示植入物略有松动，但术后病程仍平稳。本报告描述了新型定制钛植入物在犬脊柱固定手术中的应用。
