Abstract
A seven-year-old Yorkshire terrier 2.1 kg was admitted with a 2 months history of sever bilateral forelimb lameness and joint instability. Examination and radiographs revealed caudal luxation of bilateral antebrachiocarpal joint. Luxation of bilateral antebrachiocarpal (ABC) joint in a toy breed dog was treated with pancarpal arthrodesis. Modified external skeletal fixator (ESF) (type IIb) with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was utilized in this case. Porcine cancellous bone graft (PCBG) was inserted to fill the joint space in carpus. The clinical and radiographic assessments of joint after the surgical procedure proved that PCBG can be used a promising alternative to Autogenous cancellous bone graft (ACBG).
