Abstract

The aim of this study was to present clinical, radiological and surgical outcomes of two different polymelia cases in calves. The extralimb of the female calf was located at the interscapular region, subluxation of C7, polymetacarpy, polydactly was detected. The extra limb of the male one was located at the medial side of the stifle join, in the radiographic examination it was observed that the tibia was not formed and also acetabulum and femur was partially formed. The clinical and radiological examinations demonstrated that the extralimbs did not effect the vital and functional activity of the animals. In both cases, the extralimbs were removed surgically. No problem was seen in postoperative control. As a conclusion, surgical treatment can be preferred in calves with polymelia regarding to economical benefit and also better life quality

Özet

Bu çalışmada iki farklı polimeli olgusunun klinik, radyografik ve operatif bulgularının sunulması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini, farklı zamanlarda getirilen ve her ikisi de 15 günlük olan biri dişi, diğeri erkek erkek Simental ırkı buzağılar oluşturdu. Dişi buzağıda eklenti bacağın interskapular bölgede olduğu, latero-lateral direkt radyografide C 7’nin dorsale doğru sublukse olduğu, polimetakarpi (5 adet) ve polidaktili (5 adet) belirlendi. Erkek buzağıdaki eklenti bacağın artikulasyo genusun medialinde şekillendiği, yapılan radyografik muayenede eklenti bacağın asetabulum ve femurun tam gelişmediği, bununla beraber tibianın hiç şekillenmediği saptandı. Yapılan klinik ve radyolojik muayene sonunda eklenti bacakların hayvanların yaşamsal ve fonksiyonel faaliyetlerini engellemediği saptandı. Her iki olguya da operatif girişim uygulanarak eklenti bacaklar uzaklaştırıldı. Yapılan postoperatif kontrollerde herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşılmadı. Sonuç olarak, buzağılarda karşılaşılan polimeli olgularında, hayvanların genel durumları stabil olduğu takdirde operatif girişimin tercih edilmesinin, hem hastanın kaliteli bir yaşam sürmesi hem de ekonomik açıdan faydalı olacağı kanısına varıldı
