| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This study was aimed to follow the prognosis of clinically and
radiologically following the implementation of the minimally invasive
method with locking-compression plate (LCP) in dogs with long
extremity (humerus, femur and tibia) fractures.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The material of the study consisted of 13
dogs of different breeds, ages and genders brought to our clinic with
a long extremity fracture. In 13 cases in the study; 11 tibia (84.6%), 1
humerus (7.6%) and 1 femur (7.6%) fractures were identified.<p>
<b>Results: </b>It was observed that the operation times were shorter in
minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. Tibia osteosynthesis times
were shorter than others and medial approach to tibia was easier
and anatomical position. It was observed that humeral and femoral
fracture approaching especially periosteum arrive and reduction of
bones was difficult because of excessive muscle tissue to dissect .<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis creates less
soft tissue damage compared to invasive methods, however wound
healing time is short. Small incision are made during the operation,
the approach to bone and the soft tissue closure process takes
a short time. This method is an ideal operation method that can be
chosen to create a minimum wound in cases with gunshot wounds
and circulatory disorders.. It is not always appropriate to use this
method in dislocated fractures of humerus and femur since excessive
muscle tissue that needs to be dissected in the approach. The selection
of cases suitable for the operation increases the success rate. |
