Healing of 48 cases of radial fractures in small breed dogs treated with acrylic pin external fixation was evaluated retrospectively to investigate the factors affecting the healing of radial fractures. The mean age of the subjects was 15.02 months, the mean body weight was 3.48 kg, and the mean maximum length of the radius (MLR) was 90.77 mm. External skeletal fixation frames type 1a, 2a, and 3 were used; among them type 2a was used most frequently (75%). The mean time to clinical union (TCU) was 67.17 days, and the success rate was 95.8%. Age, bodyweight, MLR, and occurrence of complications increased TCU significantly. Among complications, pin loosening, swelling of the operated forelimb tissue for more than 2 weeks, and coexistence of two or more complications increased TCU significantly (p < 0.05). There was no relationship between location of the fracture and TCU. The results of this study may be useful to predict the prognosis of radial fractures in small dogs.

악안면 기형에 대한 활발한 치료가 행해지고 있는 가운데 악교정술 후에 발생하는 회귀현상(Relapse)에 대해서는 아직도 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 하악골 전돌증으로 후방이동술을 시술받은 환자의 경우에 회귀의 원인으로 Schendel, Epker, Lake, Worms, Ive, Poulton과 Ware등 많은 학자들이 하악과두의 부적합한 위치를 강조하였다. 하악골 시상골절단술시에는 이미 Leonard(1976), Zecha 등 (1978)이 상악의 선부자에 acrylic과 wire 또는 retainer 등을 이용하여 하악근심 골편의 보존을 시도하였다. 이에 저자는 하악골 전돌증의 후방 이동량이 큰 경우나 심한 안면 기형이 있는 19명의 환자에 대해 하악지 수직골절단술을 시술한 경우에 주로 정형외과에서 사용하는 External Skeletal Pin Fixation인 Mini-Hoffmann Sets을 이용하여 하악과두의 중심교합위 보존에 도움을 주었기에 보고하는 바이다.

A 5-year-old, male mixed breed dog was presented to Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital for bilateral mandibular open fracture by bite. The dog had loss of the teeth and injury of the oral mucosa. Radio-graphic and blood examinations were conducted. Fracture lines were observed between first premolar and second premolar, but temporomandibular luxation was not observed on radiographs. In serum analysis, elevated levels of CPK and LDH were found. The dog was anesthetized and prepared for aseptic surgery. Acrylic external skeletal fixator with Kirschiner wire was applied. Pin loosening and malalignment of the right fracture line was observed at 7 weeks after surgery. We applied Kirschner-Ehmer fixator and half pins during the second surgical procedure. At 4 weeks after a second surgical procedure, the fixator and pins were removed from mandible. The fractures were healed with no complications.
