Topographic and Clinical New Approaches and Correlations of Extremities in Dogs

Abstract

Various traumatic lesions are encountered in the extremities of dogs. For surgeons, familiarity with relevant surface landmarks is a prerequisite for the successful selection of incision sites in choosing the most suitable location for access to organs and vessels. This study aimed to reveal in detail the topographic and clinical anatomy of the extremities in dogs. In this study, the extremities of dogs were approached topographically, the layers were photographed and the anatomical structures seen in the region were named. In addition, selection sites for clinical approaches were determined and correlations of the sites with each other were examined using palpable bone points. In conclusion, this study conducted in dogs not only contributed to adding colourful and fresh operation photographs to the literature but also revealed new and simple techniques for some of the anaesthesia applied to the nerve space. Additionally, osteometric analyses using a different technique revealed a positive correlation between regions. It has been concluded that some measurements between externally palpable points on a live dog can be used to calculate other lengths.
