Polydactyly is an abnormality defined by the presence of one or more extra digits. Polydactyly may occur alone or in association with other congenital defects. Polydactyly is easily diagnosed by clinical examination. X-rays are used to identify possible bony abnormalities. A 3 days old Montafon crossbred calf was brought to our hospital with the complaint of extra digit on the left forelimb and inability to extend the same leg. The patient could stand up with three legs but had difficulty in walking. As a follow-up of clinical and radiologic examinations, a diagnosis of unilateral forelimb Type II polydactyly and arqure was made. The decision was made to operate on the patient to prevent a loss of productivity in the future. The extra digit was removed and Z tenotomy was performed for flexor tendon contracture. In conclusion, we describe a case of type II polydactyly and flexor tendon contracture of the calf which was successfully corrected surgically.

Bir Buzağıda Polidaktilizm (Tip II) ve Kontrakte Fleksör Tendon Olgusu

Öz

Polidaktilizm, bir veya daha fazla ekstra parmağın varlığı ile tanımlanan bir anormalliktir. Polidaktili tek başına veya diğer konjenital defektlerle birlikte görülebilir. Polidaktili klinik muayene ile kolayca teşhis edilir. Olası kemik anormalliklerini belirlemek için röntgen çekilir. 3 günlük montofon melezi bir buzağı sol ön bacakta ekstra parmak ve aynı bacağı uzatamama şikayeti ile hastanemize getirildi. Hasta üç ayağı ile ayağa kalkabiliyor ancak yürümekte zorluk çekiyordu. Klinik ve radyolojik incelemeler sonucunda tek taraflı ön bacak Tip II polidaktili ve araküri tanısı konuldu. Gelecekte üretkenlik kaybını önlemek için hastanın ameliyat edilmesine karar verildi. Ekstra parmak alındı ve fleksör tendon kontraktürü için Z tenotomi uygulandı. Sonuç olarak, buzağıda cerrahi olarak başarıyla düzeltilen tip II polidaktili ve fleksör tendon kontraktürü olgusunu tanımlıyoruz.
