2021
Durmuş, Ali Said
Fractures of the limbs have an important place in cases of fractures in dogs. The aim of this study was to describe treatment trials for various fractures and dislocations in 118 dogs. 118 dogs (different breed, age and sex) made up the study material. 103 fractures and 21 dislocations were observed and these cases were treated systematically. Various fractures were observed of the humerus, radius and ulna, pastern, pelvis, femur, tibia and fibula, metatarsus, ribs and mandible in 118 dogs. 72 (69.90%) of the fractures were diaphyseal, 20 (19.42%) epiphyseal and 11 (10.68%) supracondylar. 80 (77.67%) of the fractures were single fractures and 23 (22.33%) were multiple fractures. On postoperative examinations, the treated cases healed completely, so fractures and dislocations are still considered a major problem in dogs. It is believed that satisfactory results can be achieved with the right treatment methods and postoperative care.
