Abstract
The results of surgical repair for pelvic factures in 31 dogs were reviewed. Lameness and weight bearing scores were used to evaluate functional recovery of the hind limbs. Simple fracture occurred in sacroiliac joint (n = 5) and ilium (n = 3). Pelvic fractures had acetabular (n = 7) and non-acetabular fractures (n = 23). Acetabular fracture cases were composed of additional surgical treatments with femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHNO) (n = 4) and only acetabular rim fixation (n = 3). Simple fractures had more rapid initial and complete recovery times than multiple fractures. Non-acetabular fracture cases (initial recovery time: 2.7 weeks, complete recovery time: 9.1 weeks) had more rapid initial and complete recovery times than acetabular fracture cases (8.4, 12.5 weeks) (p < 0.05). In addition, the cases of additional surgical treatment with FHNO (5.3, 7 weeks) had more rapid mean recovery times than surgical treatment without FHNO (11.1, 16.3 weeks). Surgical approach with FHNO in acetabular fracture was an alternative method to treat pelvic fractures in small breed dogs.
