Abstract

À minha esposa Fernanda Silveira Nóbrega, pela ajuda na confecção destas tese, por coompreender os momentos de ausência, pelo incentivo diário, amor e carinho incondicionais.Ao meu orientador e amigo Prof. Dr. Cássio Ricardo Auada Ferrigno pela paciência, dedicação e entusiasmo em proporcionar novos aprendizados tanto na área técnica como acadêmica e na coordenação deste trabalho.

Surgical management of ectrodactyly in a dog

“…Two distal phalanges (the second and third digits) were removed ( Figure 2A). Three months after surgery, the dog exhibited adequate radiographic signs of ulnar healing as well as V degree lameness when using the operated limb (halting use of the limb to walk), on a scale from I (animal does not remain standing) to VII (uses the limb without any restriction) (FERREIRA, 2013). Nine months after surgery, radiographic examination showed ostectomy healing and adequate bone positioning of the left thoracic limb ( Figures 1C and D).…”

“…The surgical techniques used to correct this defect include pancarpal arthrodesis (KELLER; CHAMBERS, 1989), arthrodesis combined with ulnar osteotomy or ostectomy (INNES et al, 2001;HARASEN, 2010), and soft tissue reconstruction (BARRAND, 2004;LEIGHTON, 1983), while some surgeons choose to amputate the limb when the condition is unilateral (BINGEL;RISER, 1977;PRATSCHKE, 1996). Among the different ways used to evaluate the results of surgical treatment, subjective evaluation of support (degree of claudication) is important (FERREIRA, 2013). This study aimed to describe a case of surgically corrected ectrodactyly in a dog.…”
