Clinical and radiological evaluation of the treatment of femoral and tibial fractures with the use of interlocking nails in dogs
Abstract
The
aim of this study was to introduce an alternative method to intramedullar pinning
which are used frequently in veterinary orthopeadics and improve the experience
of treatment with the use of interlocking nailing method. The study material
involved 10 dogs with femoral and tibial fractures. Interlocking nailing
application set, routine surgical and orthopeadical sets were used in this
study. Within 11 fractures in 10 cases were classified as transversal fracture
in 5 cases (46%), oblique fracture in 3 cases (27%), communited fracture in 3
cases (27%). No complication was observed in all cases but case no 2, 9 and 10.
Interlocking nails were left in the
bones in all cases except one case. Interlocking nails can be used in
diaphiseal femoral and tibial fractures in dogs. It is supported to use of
interlocking nailing even in unstable diaphyseal fractures in dogs when
considered functional healing results and low complication rates. As a result,
using of interlocking nailing can be considered as an alternative treatment
method to other intramedullary treatments in femoral and tibial fractures in
dogs.
