The avian skeleton is significantly different from the mammalian skeleton, and these differences are important when providing fracture repair and postoperative care for the avian patient. Successful repair depends on an understanding of fracture management and healing and of the anatomical, physiologic, and behavioral concerns of avian patients. Having knowledge of fracture repair without an understanding of the unique needs of avian patients' results in a disappointing treatment response.  相似文献

Objective— To report repair of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture with concurrent component displacement after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Study Design— Clinical case report.
Animals— Dog (n=1) with an acetabular fracture after THA.
Methods— Acetabular repair was performed on a highly comminuted periprosthetic acetabular fracture after cementless THA. A bulk, structural corticocancellous autograft from the ipsilateral ilial wing was used for repair and reconstruction of the dorsal acetabular wall before reimplantation of a cementless acetabular component.
Results— Repair of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture with a bulk structural autograft was successful in reconstruction of the dorsal acetabular wall and in reestablishing a stable, functional cementless THA acetabular prosthesis.
Conclusions— Structural corticocancellous autografts from the ilium can be successfully used in repair of periprosthetic acetabular fractures after THA.
Clinical Relevance— Structural corticocancellous grafting from the ilium can be considered as a treatment option for repair of periprosthetic acetabular fractures after THA.  相似文献

There have been few studies on the process of fracture repair in avian species. Most of the information shows similarities between avian and mammalian bone growth and fracture repair, but there are differences. The main finding confirms that fractures must be reduced properly, stabilized, and immobilized with an adequate blood supply to the bone fragments for optimal healing. The return to function of extremities, particularly the legs and wings, is an important consideration when internal fixation methods are used. Causing little or no collateral damage to soft tissue and joint when implanting internal hardware is ideal and reduces the likelihood of impaired function. Whether internal or external fixation methods are used for fracture reduction, the knowledge of avian bone growth and fracture repair is essential for veterinarian understanding and when discussing the healing process with clients.  相似文献

The purpose of this article is to review the principles of fracture repair for the rostral mandible and maxilla and to demonstrate a variety of repair techniques. Because each fracture is unique, knowledge of the different repair techniques will allow the practitioner to choose a repair method best suited to the fracture configuration, equipment available, and the skill level and preferences of the surgeon.  相似文献

Objectives: To report repair of a comminuted distal humeral type II Salter–Harris fracture using an ulnar osteotomy approach and locking compression plates (LCP). Study Design: Case report. Animal: A 3‐month‐old Standardbred filly with a type II Salter–Harris fracture of the distal humerus. Methods: Radiographic and computed tomography examinations were performed to assist surgical planning. The distal humeral fracture was approached by an ulnar osteotomy and repaired using a 7‐hole broad LCP and screws inserted in lag fashion. The osteotomy was subsequently repaired using a 7‐hole narrow LCP. Results: The distal humeral fracture was successfully approached and stabilized by an ulnar osteotomy approach. At 6‐month follow‐up, the filly was ambulating comfortably with a normal cosmetic appearance. Conclusions: An ulnar osteotomy approach was readily performed and allowed for repair of a type II Salter–Harris fracture of the distal humerus. Clinical Relevance: The equine distal humerus can be accessed readily using an ulnar osteotomy approach. LCPs allow for repair of complicated fractures that have previously been associated with a grave prognosis.  相似文献

The goal of any method of fracture repair should be the early return of total limb function and the prevention of fracture disease. This can be accomplished through adhering to the basic principles of good patient and fracture assessment, choosing the correct method of fracture repair, and appropriate patient care. The complications of external coaptation can be minimized by appropriate patient and fracture assessment as well as correct cast and splint application. Choosing external coaptation as a method of fracture repair can be rewarding as long as the appropriate steps are taken to ensure success.  相似文献

A 5-hole T-plate was used to repair an unstable compound depression fracture of the nasal bones in a horse. Substantial bone loss was evident as a result of severe trauma. Satisfactory bone healing, facial contour, and airway function were achieved. The use of a T-plate can be an alternative means of repair of a nasal bone fracture in a situation in which instability and/or bone loss exists.  相似文献

A 13‐year‐old Quarter Horse gelding was presented for repair of a central tarsal bone fracture. Radiographs showed a single large nondisplaced sagittal slab fracture; however, computed tomography (CT) revealed an additional small, displaced central tarsal bone fragment. The complex fracture was repaired, under the same anaesthetic period as the CT examination, using the CT hard copies images, intraoperative fluoroscopy and radiographs. The horse recovered well and after rehabilitation showed no residual lameness at work. Computed tomography was instrumental in achieving precise screw placement and successful fracture repair.  相似文献

The principal determinants of the resolution of any wound are the type and extent of injury, the regenerative capacity of the constituent cells, and the extent of damage to the extracellular matrix. As stated previously, in the repair of a fracture, anything other than the final formation of bone tissue at the fracture site represents incomplete healing. Nature has provided bone with a remarkable array of mechanisms by which to effect fracture repair. An understanding of secondary (classical) bone healing is important to prevent any untoward effects that might ensue if an injury were left untreated, to select a form of fracture treatment that would complement nature's mechanisms, and to facilitate the interpretation of sequential radiographs obtained to evaluate the healing process.  相似文献

Maxillofacial fractures in dogs and cats occur secondary to vehicular trauma, falls, kicks, gunshots, and fights with other animals. Pathologic mandibular fracture may occur secondary to periodontal disease, neoplasia, and metabolic diseases. The primary objective for repair of maxillofacial fractures in small animals is return to normal function. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain occlusal alignment while providing adequate stability for bony union. Basic principles of maxillofacial fracture repair include anatomic reduction and restoration of occlusion, application of a stable fixation to neutralize negative forces on the fracture, gentle handling of soft tissues, avoidance of iatrogenic dental trauma, extraction of diseased teeth within the fracture line, and minimizing excessive soft tissue elevation. This review article will describe the application of intraoral acrylic splints for maxillofacial fracture repair.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To report clinical evaluation of the clamp rod internal fixator 4.5/5.5 (CRIF 4.5/5.5) in bovine long-bone fracture repair. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: Cattle (n=22) with long-bone fractures. METHODS: Records for cattle with long-bone fractures repaired between 1999 and 2004 with CRIF 4.5/5.5 were reviewed. Quality of fracture repair, fracture healing, and clinical outcome were investigated by means of clinical examination, medical records, radiographs, and telephone questionnaire. RESULTS: Successful long-term outcome was achieved in 18 cattle (82%); 4 were euthanatized 2-14 days postoperatively because of fracture breakdowns. Two cattle had movement of clamps on the rod. Moderate to severe callus formation was evident in 11 cattle 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Movement of clamps on the rod was recognized as implant failure unique to the CRIF. This occurred in cattle with poor fracture stability because of an extensive cortical defect. The CRIF system may not be ideal to treat metacarpal/metatarsal fractures because its voluminous size makes skin closure difficult, thereby increasing the risk of postoperative infections. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: CRIF cannot be recommended for repair of complicated long-bone fractures in cattle.  相似文献

A 4-day-old foal underwent repair of a proximal metaphyseal fracture of the tibia. After closed reduction, fixation was achieved by use of blind cross-pinning. Thirty-five days after surgery, radiography demonstrated complete healing. The foal was mildly lame 4 months after repair of the fracture. Blind cross-pinning may be considered as a method of repair for certain long bone fractures in small foals.  相似文献

Tibial fractures     
Tibial fractures are common in small animal practice. As with other appendicular fractures, the patient's age, fracture location, and fracture type must be considered thoroughly. While methods for tibial fracture repair are similar to those used for appendicular fractures elsewhere, there are some unique considerations, both anatomically and functionally, that must be contemplated before repair. The following article will review the incidence of tibial fractures, tibial fracture types, and options for tibial fracture management and treatment. The use of external fixators, orthopedic bone plates, open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF), and external coaptation will be discussed. An emphasis will be placed on the most common types of tibial fractures, as well as those best suited for repair by general practitioners of veterinary medicine. Three case based examples will follow the overview.  相似文献

Fracture repair in small animals has arrived at a crossroads because of advances in fracture repair and client demands. Research into bone healing and repair techniques, collective professional experience,economics, and client demands are obligating veterinarians to greater expertise in the actual act of repairing fractures. The influx of surgery specialists into burgeoning private practices has improved access to specialty service beyond what the limited number of academic practices could previously provide and has raised the local standard of practice for orthopedic surgery at the same time. The necessity to deal with the preoperative and postoperative management of traumatized small animals by the general practitioner has not changed, however.Treatment of the small animal patient with a fractured bone does involve accurate definition of the fracture, selection of an appropriate method of fracture fixation from the variety of devices available, and correct application of the fixation. Far more than these, however, it involves assessment and treatment of the traumatized patient as a whole,including preanesthetic evaluation of critical body systems, preoperative preparation of the patient and client, and postoperative management of the repaired fracture and patient.  相似文献

Reasons for performing study: Standing fracture repair in the horse is a recently described surgical procedure and currently there are few follow‐up data. This case series contains 2 novel aspects in the standing horse: repair of incomplete sagittal fractures of the proximal phalanx and medial condylar repair from a lateral aspect. Objectives: To describe outcome in a case series of horses that had lower limb fractures repaired under standing sedation at Rossdales Equine Hospital. Method: Case records for all horses that had a fracture surgically repaired, by one surgeon at Rossdales Equine Hospital, under standing sedation and local anaesthesia up until June 2011, were retrieved. Hospital records, owner/trainer telephone questionnaire and the Racing Post website were used to evaluate follow‐up. Results: Thirty‐four horses satisfied the inclusion criteria. Fracture sites included the proximal phalanx (incomplete sagittal fracture, n = 14); the third metacarpal bone (lateral condyle, n = 12, and medial condyle, n = 7); and the third metatarsal bone (lateral condyle, n = 1). One horse required euthanasia due to caecal rupture 10 days post operatively. Twenty horses (66.7% of those with available follow‐up) have returned to racing. Where available, mean time from operation to return to racing was 226 days (range 143–433 days). Conclusions: Standing fracture repair produced similar results to fracture repair under general anaesthesia in terms of both the number of horses that returned to racing and the time between surgery and race. Potential relevance: Repair of lower limb fracture in the horse under standing sedation is a procedure that has the potential for tangible benefits, including avoidance of the inherent risks of general anaesthesia. The preliminary findings in this series of horses are encouraging and informative when discussing options available prior to fracture repair.  相似文献

High-density, polysulfone rods were used to repair 4 comminuted and 4 short-oblique, mid-diaphyseal femoral fractures in 8 dogs. Bony union was achieved in 2 dogs at 10 and 12 weeks after surgery. In one dog, the femoral fracture was healing when amputation of the limb became necessary because of sciatic nerve damage secondary to an ipsilateral pelvic fracture. In a fourth dog, fracture repair resulted in nonunion, despite normal clinical function at 18 months after surgery. In the remaining 4 dogs (50%), the rods failed at 3.5, 4, 6, and 22 weeks after surgery. These fractures were then stabilized by use of other methods. Although several factors may have contributed to failure of the rods, multiple autoclaving of the thermoplastic implants may have caused embrittlement and subsequent breakage.  相似文献

Three cats and 1 dog with fracture of the mandibular condyloid process and concomitant fracture(s) of the rostral portion of the mandible were treated successfully by wire fixation of the rostral mandibular fracture(s) and by conservative management of the mandibular condylar fracture. All animals regained satisfactory dental occlusion and normal, pain-free motion of the jaw. Fracture of the mandibular condyloid process is an infrequently diagnosed injury that usually occurs with other mandibular fractures. If satisfactory dental occlusion can be achieved by surgical stabilization of the noncondylar fractures, surgical repair of the mandibular condyloid fracture may not be necessary.  相似文献

A young female camel had a complete comminuted midshaft fracture of the right radius. The fracture was repaired by external coaptation, which involved 2 full-limb fiberglass casts for 15 weeks. A Thomas splint was placed around the second cast for 12 weeks. The fracture healed in nonaligned configuration, and although lameness was substantial after the fracture had healed, the camel's breeding potential had been salvaged. This successful outcome is an indication that a high-limb fracture in a camel bone (in this case a radius) may be managed by external coaptation and repair by callus formation.  相似文献

Objective— To report repair of a right proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fracture in a foal with a hybrid external fixator (HEF).
Study Design— Case report.
Animals— A 5-month-old male foal.
Methods— After open surgical reduction, an HEF built with wires, 2 half-rings, 3 half-threaded connecting rods, and Schanz pins was used to stabilize the fracture.
Results— Immediately after surgery, the foal had relatively good weight bearing. The HEF was removed at 60 days after radiographic confirmation of healing.
Conclusions— HEF can be used to stabilize a proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fracture in a 5-month-old foal.
Clinical Relevance— HEF should be considered as another option for repair of proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fractures in foals.  相似文献

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Repair of spiral and long diaphyseal metacarpal and metatarsal fractures under anaesthesia can be problematic and associated with a high incidence of complications, including fracture propagation necessitating euthanasia. OBJECTIVE: To report on a practical repair technique for which general anaesthesia is not required. METHODS: Thirteen racehorses with a spiral/propagating condylar fracture had the fracture repaired using local anaesthesia and sedation, without the need for general anaesthetic. RESULTS: Ten of the horses returned to training and 8 raced again. Two horses were retired directly to stud. One horse had propagation of the fracture 3 days post surgery, and was subjected to euthanasia. CONCLUSIONS AND POTENTIAL RELEVANCE: Results achieved were comparable to those gained using standard repair techniques under general anaesthesia. The described technique removes the need for general anaesthesia for repair of selected condylar fractures.  相似文献
