Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show the clinical usage of Gulhane Military Medical Academy External Skeletal Fixator (GATA-FIX) in traumatic coxofemoral luxation treatment in dogs and to discuss the clinical, radiological results that were obtained with our colleaques. The material of this study consists of 15 dogs, diagnosed on traumatic coxofemoral luxation from different breeds, ages and sexes. The cases treated with GATA-FIX external skeletal fixator and evaluated clinically and radiologically on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 90th postoperative days. It was observed that the cases used their affected extremities functionally within 24-72 hours after the operation and the functional recovery was provided “excellent” in 14 cases and one is “failed”. The treatment with GATA-FIX external skeletal fixator was brought out to be a new, effective and successful method in the treatment of traumatic coxofemoral luxations in dogs. It was concluded that, this treatment method was an alternative, safety surgical procedure due to apply easyly on all size of dogs and affect minimally of the vital quality on the dogs

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; Gülhane Askeri Tıp Akademisi Eksternal Fiksatörünün (GATA-FIX) köpeklerde travmatik koksofemoral luksasyon (CFL) sağaltımında kullanılabilirliği ve alınan klinik ve radyolojik sonuçların meslektaşlarımızla paylaşılmasıdır. Bu çalışma travmatik CFL tanısı konulan değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetteki 15 adet köpek üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. CFL’un GATA-FIX eksternal fiksatörü ile sağaltımı yapıldı ve olgular postoperatif 7., 14., 21. ve 90. günlerde klinik ve radyolojik muayene ile takip edildi. Olguların ilgili ekstremitelerini postoperatif 24-72 saat içerisinde fonksiyonel olarak kullandıkları izlenirken, fonksiyonel iyileşmenin 14 olguda “mükemmel” ve 1 olguda ise “başarısız” olduğu belirlendi. GATA-FIX eksternal fiksatörünün; köpeklerde CFL sağaltımında, yeni, etkin ve başarılı bir teknik olduğu kanısına varıldı. Bu sağaltım tekniğinin her boyuttaki köpeğe kolayca uygulanabilmesi ve olguların yaşamsal kalitesini çok az etkilemesi nedeniyle travmatik CFL sağaltımında alternatif cerrahi bir teknik olarak güvenle kullanılabileceği sonucuna varıldı
