Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthrodesis was done in each of three dogs with end-stage degenerative joint disease resulting from trauma and osteomyelitis (n = 2) and immune-mediated disease (n = 1). In two cases, MTP arthrodesis proved to be a useful method of eliminating pain and salvaging limb function. In one case, concurrent injuries and obesity prevented full return to function. Arthrodesis was accomplished with autogenous cancellous bone grafts and bone plates (n = 2) and with transarticular K-wires (n = 1). External coaptation was a necessary adjunct to internal fixation in all cases.
对三只患有终末期退行性关节疾病的犬进行了跖趾关节（MTP）融合术，病因分别为创伤和骨髓炎（2例）以及免疫介导性疾病（1例）。在两例中，MTP融合术被证明是消除疼痛和挽救肢体功能的有效方法。在一例中，并发损伤和肥胖阻碍了功能的完全恢复。融合术通过自体松质骨移植和接骨板（2例）以及经关节克氏针（1例）完成。在所有病例中，外部固定是内固定的必要辅助手段。
