Hinged ilizarov external fixation for correction of antebrachial deformities

VETERINARY SURGERY, Vol. 27, pp. 231–245.

MeSH headings : Animals; Bone Lengthening / veterinary; Bone Wires / veterinary; Carpus, Animal / physiology; Dogs / abnormalities; Dogs / surgery; External Fixators / veterinary; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Forelimb / abnormalities; Forelimb / diagnostic imaging; Forelimb / surgery; Male; Osteogenesis; Osteotomy / veterinary; Postoperative Care / veterinary; Postoperative Complications / veterinary; Radiography; Radius / surgery; Range of Motion, Articular; Reoperation / veterinary; Ulna / surgery
TL;DR: Although complications were present in six of seven dogs, the outcome of hinged Ilizarov external fixation was successful in all dogs treated for deformities of the antebrachium, and allows precise correction of complex antebrACHial deformities with minimal tissue trauma.

Veterinary Surgery, 27(4), 354–357.

By: G. Rovesti n, R. Fluckiger n, A. Margini n & D. Marcellin-Little*

MeSH headings : Animals; Bone Diseases, Developmental / diagnostic imaging; Bone Diseases, Developmental / surgery; Bone Diseases, Developmental / veterinary; Dog Diseases / diagnostic imaging; Dog Diseases / surgery; Dogs; Humerus / diagnostic imaging; Humerus / pathology; Humerus / surgery; Male; Tomography, X-Ray Computed / veterinary; Ulna / diagnostic imaging; Ulna / pathology
TL;DR: Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle is present in Rottweilers and may coexist with fragmentation of the medial coronoid process in that breed and the radiographic diagnosis may be difficult. (via Semantic Scholar)
