Tibial fracture repair with angle‐stable interlocking nailing in 2 calves

Background: There are few detailed reports on implant-associated sarcoma in dogs; however, loose implants, metal type, and infection have not been shown as specific risk factors for this condition. Case Description: A 14-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever was referred to our hospital with a main complaint of chronic right hind lameness after previous tibial fracture repair. On radiographs, rupture of the bone plate and screws with swelling of the surrounding soft tissue was observed, and osteosarcoma (OSA) was diagnosed after histopathological examinations. During amputation surgery, a plastic band was found associated with the implant. Conclusion: Veterinary surgeons should be aware of implant-associated OSA and refrain from using non-medical materials in the implants. Furthermore, they should recommend the removal of orthopedic implants after fracture repair.

SummaryThis paper reports the surgical treatment of a tibial fracture in a castrated adult male Belgian Landrace pig of 180 kg. The fracture was repaired using an intramedullary Steinmann pin, combined with cerclage wire and external transfixation. In contrast to other animal species, the fracture repair in the pig was hindered by the short and curved bones, the thick subcutaneous fat layer and the pronounced musculature. Postoperatively, the pig developed an osteomyelitis of the tibia due to pin tract contamination. Despite this complication, the fracture healed acceptably when all fixation material was removed two months after surgery. The infection resolved quickly and a satisfactory clinical result was obtained.

The Right

A local cock(Gallus gallus domesticus) weighing 1.2 kg and kept as a pet was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), University of Abuja (UA) with the chief complaint of right limb lameness for three days. A close observation showed that the limb was dangling and had a fresh cut on the skin at the distal 1/3 of the tibia. The region was swollen and had a light-greenish colour suspected to be a sign of gangrene formation. Radiographic examination of the region confirmed a complete oblique simple fracture of the distal 1/3 of the tibia of the right limb. The cause of the fracture was unknown. Under Xylazine hydrochloride and Ketamine hydrochloride anaesthesia, the fracture was repaired through an open reduction with intramedullary pin. Eleven days post-surgery, the cock was found to bear slight weight on the limb. Clinical examination three weeks post operation showed normal usage of the limb and radiological evidence of good fracture healing. The intramedullary pinning appeared to be effective for the management of this simple tibial fracture in the local cock. This report appears to be the first intensive fracture repair documented in the local cock..
