Abstract

Three dogs were presented with diaphyseal fracture of the tibia following separate motor vehicle accidents. On physical and orthopedic examinations, the dogs were noted to have soft-tissue swelling and a closed fracture in these tibia sites. Radiographs revealed a simple, short oblique fracture (case 1), a comminuted, spiral fracture (case 2), and a simple, spiral fracture (case 3) in tibia. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using a veterinary cuttable plate or locking plate was applied for the treatment of these fractures. The surgery was successful, and the fractures healed without any complications by 7 weeks (case 1), 10 weeks (case 2) and 8 weeks (case 3) after surgery. Our patients showed fast bone healing times and early weight-bearing during the treatment of their tibia fractures. Therefore, MIPO was a useful procedure for diaphyseal fracture of the tibia in veterinary orthopedics.

교통사고를 원인으로 3마리의 개가 경골 골간 골절로 내원하였다. 신체검사와 정형외과 검사상 이들 골절은 경골주위에 연조직 손상을 동반한 폐쇄성 골절을 보여 주었다. 방사선검사상 단순 경사골절 (증례1), 복잡 나선형골절 (증례 2), 단순 나선형골절 (증례 3)로 진단되었다. 이들 골절은 수의 절단성 금속판이나 잠김 금속판을 이용하여 최소 침습적 금속판 고정술을 적용하였다. 수술은 성공적으로 이루어지고 7주 (증례 1), 10주 (증례 2) 그리고 8주 (증례3) 후 부작용 없이 골절 치유를 확인할 수 있었다. 수술 후 모든 환자들은 빠른 골치유와 체중 지지를 관찰할 수 있었다. 최소 침습적 금속판 고정술은 수의정형외과영역에서 경골 골간 골절의 유용한 수술법으로 생각된다.
