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.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın
amacı veteriner ortopedide sıkça kullanılan intramedullar pin uygulamalarına
bir alternatif getirmek ve kilitli intramedullar pin yöntemiyle ilgili
deneyimler kazanmaktır. Çalışma materyalini, Femur ya da Tibia’sında kırık
tespit edilen 10 köpek oluşturdu. Çalışmada rutin yumuşak doku ve ortopedi
setlerinin yanında farklı uzunluk ve çaplarda kilitli intramedullar pinler ve
kilitli intramedullar pin uygulama seti kullanıldı. Çalışma materyalini
oluşturan 10 olgudan belirlenen 11 kırığın 5’i (%46) transversal kırık, 3’ü
(%27) oblik kırık, 3’ü de (%27) parçalı kırık olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Olgu no
9 ve 10 haricinde hiçbir olguda komplikasyona rastlanmadı. Komplikasyonun
gözlenmediği olgularda kırık iyileşmesinden sonra interlocking pin, ilgili kemiğin
medullasında bırakıldı ve klinik olarak bir probleme neden olmadığı gözlendi. Interlocking
pinler köpeklerin femur ve tibia gibi uzun kemiklerinde meydana gelen diyafizer
kırıklarında kullanılabilir. Stabil olmayan kırıklar da dahil, fonksiyonel iyileşme
sonuçları ve düşük komplikasyon oranlarıyla ilişkilendirildiğinde, uzun
kemiklerin diyafizer kırıklarında interlocking pinlerin kullanımı
desteklenmektedir. Sonuç olarak interlocking pin ile sağaltım metodu, femur ve tibia’nın
diyafizer kırıklarında alternatif bir sağaltım metodu olarak düşünülebilir
