Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the Tibia and Tibia Intercondylar Width Index in Aksaray Malaklı Dogs. A total of 14 tibia bones of 12 adult Aksaray Malaklı dogs, 6 male and 6 female, were used in the study. The measurement of the tibia bones, which were radiographed with the caudal side facing the cassette and the ends of the condylus lateralis and condylus medialis in contact with the cassette, were measured on the same device (Fujifilm Fcr Prima T2 FVS-1000). For the measurement of intercondylar width, two linear lines were drawn on the two projections forming the eminentia intercondylaris, and this line length was taken as a basis by drawing a linear line between these two lines, for the measurement of the tibial plateau, between the extreme parts of the condylus medialis and condylus lateralis. Intercondylar Width Index (ICWI) was calculated using the formula “intercondylar width*tibial plateau width / 100”. The mean ICWI index of all the materials used in the study was 20.09±2.48 cm, tibia length was 25.10±2.36 cm, body width was 2.12±0.41 cm, tibial plateau width was 5.20±0.51 cm, and The mean intercondylar width was measured as 1.06±0.19 cm. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to understand the difference between the genders, but no statistically significant difference (p=0.798) was found. Although there is no statistical difference between the genders in the study; it was determined that the mean ICWI index of females (19.98±2.50 cm) was lower than that of males (20.19±2.65 cm). In conclusion, in this study, it is thought that the Intercondylar Width Index (ICWI) affects the incidence of CrCL rupture.

Aksaray Malaklı köpeklerinde tibia ve interkondiler genişlik indeksi üzerine morfometrik bir çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışma Aksaray Malaklı köpeklerinde tibia ve interkondiler genişlik indeksinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada 6 erkek ve 6 dişi olmak üzere toplamda 12 adet erişkin Aksaray Malaklı ırkı köpeğin toplam 14 adet tibia kemiği kullanılmıştır. Caudal yüzü kasete dönük olacak şekilde ve condylus lateralis ile condylus medialis’in uçları kasete temas edecek biçimde radyografisi çekilen tibia kemiklerinin ölçümü aynı cihaz üzerinde yapıldı (Fujifilm Fcr Prima T2 FVS-1000). İnterkondiler genişlik ölçümü için eminentia intercondylaris’i oluşturan iki çıkıntı üzerine doğrusal iki çizgi çizilerek bu iki çizgi arası, tibial plato ölçümü için condylus medialis ve condylus lateralis’in en uç kısımları arasında doğrusal bir çizgi çekilerek oluşan bu çizgi uzunluğu baz alındı. İntercondiler Genişlik İndeksi (ICWI), “interkondiler genişlik*tibial plato genişliği / 100’’ formülü kullanılarak hesaplandı. Çalışmada kullanılan materyallerin tamamının ICWI indeksi ortalaması 20,09±2,48 cm, tibia uzunluğu 25,10±2,36 cm, gövde genişliği 2,12±0,41 cm, tibial plato genişliği 5,20±0,51 cm ve interkondiler genişlik ortalaması 1,06±0,19 cm olarak ölçüldü. Cinsiyetler arasındaki farkı anlayabilmek için Mann-Whitney U testi uygulaması yapılmış ancak istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark (p=0,798) bulunamamıştır. Yapılan çalışmada cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel bir fark olmamakla birlikte; dişilerin ICWI indeksi ortalamasının (19,98±2,50 cm) erkeklere (20,19±2,65) nazaran daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; yapılan bu çalışmada, İntercondiler Genişlik İndeksi (ICWI)’nin CrCL ruptur insidansını etkilediği düşünülmektedir.
