Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate coxofemoral joint luxation in cats clinically and radiographically, to treat with double-sided modified toggle pin technique and to share the early-term outcomes. The study material consisted cases of 17 cats which were brought with complaints of hind limb lameness and diagnosed with coxofemoral luxation by radiography and orthopaedic examination. Radiograms revealed that the luxations of all cases either at right or left sides were formed craniodorsally. Fractures of femur (n=2), sacroiliac luxation (n=1), and os pubis and os ischii fractures (n=1) accompanied coxofemoral luxation in some cats. Toggle pins of different sizes were prepared using Kirschner wires and they were sterilized a day before surgery. Approaching the hip joint craniolaterally, luxated coxofemoral joint was allowed to set to its anatomic position, using an apparatus prepared with toggle pin and nylon sutures (USP: 0). Double-sided modified toggle pin technique was performed for the treatment. Cats, which only had luxations were able to use their legs without any problems one day after surgery; although, this time was prolonged in cases having additional orthopaedic problems. However, postoperative clinical and radiographical findings were satisfactory in all cases. As a result, double-sided modified toggle pin technique was concluded to be an appropriate method for surgical treatment of coxofemoral luxations in cats, with its satisfactory joint stabilization, quick gain of extremity functions and its compatibility with body tissues

Kedilerde koksofemoral eklem luksasyonlarının çift taraflı modifiye toggle pin tekniği ile sağaltımı ve erken dönem sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi: 17 olgu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kedilerde koksofemoral eklem luksasyonlarının klinik ve radyografik olarak değerlendirilerek, çift taraflı modifiye toggle pin tekniği ile sağaltımı ve erken dönem sonuçlarının paylaşılması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini, arka ekstremite topallığı şikayeti ile getirilen ve ortopedik ve radyografik muayeneleri sonucunda koksofemoral eklem luksasyonu tanısı konulan 17 kedi oluşturdu. Radyografik değerlendirme sonucunda tüm olgularda sağ veya sol taraftaki luksasyonun kraniodorsal yönde şekillendiği görüldü. Bazı kedilerde luksasyona femur kırığı (n=2), sakroiliak luksasyon (n=1), os pubis ve os ischii’de (n=1) kırıkların da eşlik ettiği dikkati çekti. Operasyondan bir gün önce Kirschner tellerinden kedilere uygun olacak şekilde farklı büyüklüklerde toggle pinler hazırlanarak sterilize edildi. Kalça eklemine kraniolateral yaklaşım yoluyla ulaşılarak, toggle pin ve naylon dikiş materyalinden (USP 0) hazırlanan bir düzenek ile lukse olan koksofemoral eklemin anatomik pozisyonuna getirilmesi sağlandı. Operasyonda çift taraflı modifiye toggle pin tekniği kullanılarak pinler hem asetabulum hem de femur’a birer tane olacak şekilde çift yerleştirildi. Yalnızca luksasyonu bulunan kedilerin ertesi gün opere edilen bacaklarını sorunsuz bir şekilde kullanabildikleri gözlenirken, luksasyona farklı ortopedik problemlerin eşlik ettiği olgularda bu sürenin uzadığı görüldü. Ancak tüm hastalarda operasyon sonrası klinik ve radyografik sonuçlar memnuniyet vericiydi. Sonuç olarak; tatmin edici düzeyde eklem stabilizasyonu sağlaması, operasyon sonrası ekstremite fonksiyonlarının hızlı kazanılması ve kullanılan materyallere karşı vücudun reaksiyon yaratmaması açısından çift taraflı modifiye toggle pin tekniğinin koksofemoral eklem luksasyonu olan kedilerde oldukça uygun bir operasyon tekniği olduğu sonucuna varıldı
