Abstract
Angular deformity of the antebrachium was detected in 6 dogs which were brought to the surgery clinics of the faculty of veterinary medicine of the university of Istanbul between the years 1995-1996. 3 of dogs had bilateral angular deformity whilein the others this was unilateral. In dogs in which bilateral angular deformity was ob¬served, carpal varus deformity was present while in the others carpal valgus deformity was seen. Radial oblique osteotomy was performed in 2 cases and closed wedge osteot¬omy was done in 4 cases. In infantile dogs 2-2.5 cm of bony tissue was removed from the ulna, while in the adult dogs transversal osteotomy was done. In cases in which cor¬rective osteotomy was performed radial fragments were fixed by plate in 4 dogs, by in-tramedullar pin in one dog and by external fixator in one dog. These cases of antebra-chialangular deformity were evaluated proepratively and post operatively according to angulation, lameness and cosmetic healing.
Özet
Istanbul Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Kliniğine 1995-1996 yıl¬ları arasında getirilen 6 köpeğin antebrachium kemiklerinde angular deformite belirlendi. Bunlardan 3'ünde deformite iki ayakta birden, diğerlerinde birer ayakta mevcuttu. Bilateral angular deformite bulunan olgularda karpal varus, tek taraflılarda karpal valgus bulunuyordu. Deformitelerin düzeltilmesi için iki olguda radiusa oblik osteotomi, diğer dördünde de kapalı kama osteotomisi uygulandı. Henüz erginliğe ulaşmamış hayvan¬larda, ulnadan ostektomi ile 2-2,5 cm.'lik bir kemik parçası çıkarılırken, ergin olanlarda sadece transversal osteotomi yapıldı. Düzeltme osteotomisi uygulanan olgularda radiusu tesbit etmek amacıyla 4 olguda plaka 1 olguda intramedullar pin, 1 olguda eksternal fik-satör uygulandı. Bu olguların pre ve postoperatif açılanma topallık ve kozmetik iyileşme dereceleri değerlendirildi.
