Köpeklerde Karşılaşılan Tibia Kırıklarının Interlocking Pin ve Akrilik Eksternal Fiksatör Kombinasyonu ile Sağaltımı

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 1 - 6, 13.07.2020

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, köpeklerde meydana gelen diyafizer tibia
kırıklarının sağaltımında interlocking pin ve uniplanar bilateral akrilik
eksternal fiksatörlerin kombinasyonu kullanılarak,
interlocking pinlerin
dizaynından dolayı, pinin distal ve proksimalinde yüksek stres biriktirme
potansiyelinden dolayı oluşması muhtemel implant hatalarının önüne geçmek
ve postoperatif erken dönemde ilgili ekstremiteye
ağırlık verilmesiyle oluşan torsiyonel ve bükülme kuvvetlerinin yol açtığı
instabiliteye bağlı olarak fonksiyonel iyileşme kayıplarının oluşma riskini
azaltmak amaçlandı.



Çalışma materyalini, travma sonrası, ilgili arka
ekstremitesini kullanamama şikayetiyle getirilen, yapılan kinik ve radyolojik
muayeneler sonrasında tibiasında kırık tespit edilen 6 köpek oluşturdu.
Sağaltım için farklı uzunluklarda 6 mm çapında
interlocking pinler, 2 ve 2,5 mm çapında yarım ve tam pin olarak Steinmann
pinleri, akrilik ve içine enjekte edilip akriliğe şekil verebilmesi için 9 mm endotracheal
tüpler kullanıldı. Postoperatif 10., 30., ve 45. günlerde radyografiler alındı,
klinik takip süreci 45. günde sona erdirildi. Ancak olgu no 5’in postoperatif
takip süresi, gelişen enfeksiyondan dolayı, 58. güne kadar devam etti.



İntramedullar pin uygulamalarına alternatif oluşturan
interlocking pin ile sağaltım tekniği, eksternal fiksatörlerle kombine edilerek
kullanıldığında başarılı sonuçlar vermiştir. Interlocking pin ve akrilik eksternal
fiksatör kombinasyonu ile sağaltım tekniği, interlocking pin ile sağaltım
tekniğinin tek başına kullanılmasından dolayı oluşabilecek instabilitenin önüne
geçilmesi ve iyileşmenin hızlı bir şekilde sağlanması açısından alternatif bir
tedavi yöntemi olarak düşünülebilir.

Treatment of Tibial Fractures with the Use of Interlocking Nail and Acrylic External Fixator Combination in Dogs

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 1 - 6, 13.07.2020

Abstract

In
this study, a combination of interlocking nailing and uniplanar bilateral
acyrlic external fixators has been used in the treatment of dogs with
diaphyseal tibial fractures. Via this method, it is both aimed to prevent
possible implant failures due to the potential of high stress acumulation in
the distal and proximal parts because of the design of interlocking pins and
also is aimed to reduce the risk of functional recovery losses due to
instability caused by torsional and bending forces because of weight bearing in
the postoperative period.

The
study material involves 6 dogs. Each case was treated using 6 mm interlocking
pins of various lengths and 2-2.5 mm half and full Steinmann pins. Radiographs
were taken on the postoperative 10th, 30th, 45th days and clinical follow-up
period was ended on 45th day. However, postoperative follow-up period of case
no 5 has continued until day 58 due to infection.





As
an alternative to intramedullary nailing, interlocking pins has resulted in
success when combined with external fixators. Interlocking pin and acrylic external
fixation combination techniqe can be considered as an alternative method as it
prevents instability that can be caused by using only interlocking nailing and
as it provides a rapid healing.
