Abstract
Tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures represent a small proportion of proximal tibial fractures in dogs. We distinguish between different types of this trauma. This disease is commonly encountered in young and skeletally immature animals. In the past, dogs with tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures were not treated, which resulted in chronic lameness. At present, various therapeutic methods are available for managing this disease. The aim of this article was to present the therapeutic protocols for managing tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in dogs. The present article reviews the data regarding the treatment of tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in dogs. Many veterinarians are reluctant to use conservative methods in the treatment of tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures due to the uncertain outcome and possible fracture progression. There are many surgical treatment options, but Kirschner wires with a tension band are the surgical method of choice for managing the problem. This article also contains a detailed description of the surgical procedure with the recommended method. The manuscript additionally touches on rehabilitation and conservative treatment of tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures.
期刊介绍:
"Medycyna Weterynaryjna" publishes various types of articles which are grouped in the following editorial categories: reviews, original studies, scientific and professional problems, the history of veterinary medicine, posthumous memoirs, as well as chronicles that briefly relate scientific advances and developments in the veterinary profession and medicine. The most important are the first two categories, which are published with short summaries in English. Moreover, from 2001 the editors of "Medycyna Weterynaryjna", bearing in mind market demands, has also started publishing entire works in English. Since 2008 the periodical has appeared in an electronic version. The following are available in this version: summaries of studies published from 1999 to 2005, full versions of all the studies published in the years 2006-2011 (in pdf files), and full versions of the English studies published in the current year (pdf). Only summaries of the remaining studies from the current year are available. In accordance with the principles accepted by the editors, the full versions of these texts will not be made available until next year.
All articles are evaluated twice by leading Polish scientists and professionals before they are considered for publication. For years now "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" has maintained a high standard thanks to this system. The review articles are actually succinct monographs dealing with specific scientific and professional problems that are based on the most recent findings. Original works have a particular value, since they present research carried out in Polish and international scientific centers.
