The goal of our study was not only to detect the incidence of both minor and major complications in the long bone fracture treatment in dogs, but also establish a rate of radiographically apparent complications which can be functionally tolerable for the patients.The clinical records of 200 dogs with fractures of long bones of the limbs treated at the Clinic of Surgery and Orthopedics at University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno from the beginning of January 1998 through the end of June 1999 were reviewed. Fracture management was performed in 156 dogs with 164 fractures. These fractures were treated by open (86.59% cases) or closed (13.41%) reductions and internal fixation (70.73%), external skeletal fixation (25.61%), and external coaptation (3.66%). Two groups of clinical patients were created. Group I consisted of 64 dogs with outcome information obtained from a questionnaire. The results of treatment in this group were excellent in 70.31% cases, very good in 21.88%, and fair in 7.81%. In group II, 92 dogs having 100 long bone fractures with complete follow-up information obtained from clinical and radiological examinations at our clinic were included. The results of therapy in group II were excellent totally in 81.00% cases, very good in 12.00%, fair in 1.00%, and poor in 6.00%. Complications of fracture healing in this group II were assessed. The complications were found mainly in cases with an interval between injury and fracture fixation longer than 4 days (χ 2 -test; p < 0.01). Clinically sound dogs (with excellent result of therapy) were able to functionally tolerate radiographic abnormalities in consequence of fracture treatment in 44.45% cases (36 of 81 fractures with excellent outcome of therapy). Fracture, bone healing, nonunion, delayed union, incidence, dogFractures of the long bones of extremities are common in dogs (Johnson et al. 1994). The primary goal of any fracture treatment is to restore the function of the injured limb as soon as possible and completely (Brinker et al. 1984). A variety of fracture treatment options exists, including internal fixation with open reduction (Brinker et al. 1984;Hulse 1997; Neãas 1996), external skeletal fixation with open or closed reduction (Johnson et al. 1998a; J ohnson et al. 1998b; A r o n and T o o mbs 1984), miniinvasive percutaneous insertion of Kirschner wires (Gál and Neãas 1999), and external coaptation (De Camp 1993). Selection of the method of fixation depends on fracture configuration, the size and age of the animal, biological considerations, the number of limbs involved, concurrent musculoskeletal injuries, and financial resources of the client. The last but not least factor determining the method of repair is familiarity of the surgeon with the equipment and techniques.Complications may occur with each type of fracture fixation. Some complications are "acceptable" not only for the surgeon, but also the animal. Minor complications such as slight malalignment (which does not require repositioning) and hypertrophic callus are ...

“…Rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCLR) is a common disorder of the canine stifle, and in many cases surgical joint stabilization is indicated to prevent, or delay, the development of degenerative joint disease (JOHNSON et al, 1994). CCLR is a multifactorial disease, influenced by plasmocytic lymphocytic synovitis, trauma, an abnormal tibial plateau angle, endocrine diseases e.g.…”

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture is the major cause of lameness and degenerative joint disease in the canine stifle. The cause of this disease is multifactorial, especially involving degenerative and inflammatory changes. Many techniques have been described for the management of this condition, and current recommendations include the use of corrective osteotomies, most recently using the Maquet (or modified Maquet) procedure. This technique is fundamentally similar to the classical tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA), but without the use of the bone plate. The main advantages of using this technique are a shorter operative time and less use of implants. The main complication of this technique is an increased risk of tibial crest fracture. This report describes the Maquet technique for the treatment of a three-year-old male West White Terrier dog with rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. Cruciate ligament rupture was diagnosed by a positive cranial tibial drawer test. Mediolateral stifle radiography performed under anesthesia with the stifle in 135° of extension demonstrated a tibial plateau angle of 22°. A cage of six millimeters was necessary to allow advancement. The Maquet technique produced excellent post-operative results, including early weight-bearing and neutralization of the cranial tibial drawer. The consolidation time of the osteotomy was 63 days.

ResumoA ruptura do ligamento cruzado cranial em cães é a principal causa de claudicação do membro posterior e leva ao desenvolvimento da doença articular degenerativa. A causa da doença é multifatorial, principalmente alterações degenerativas e inflamatórias. Muitas técnicas já foram descritas para o seu tratamento, mas atualmente se preconiza a utilização das osteotomias corretivas, sendo a técnica de Maquet a mais recente utilizada. Essa técnica apresenta os mesmos fundamentos da técnica clássica de avanço da tuberosidade tibial, mas não é utilizado a placa. As principais vantagens do uso dessa técnica são menor tempo cirúrgico e menor uso de implantes. A principal complicação dessa técnica é a fratura da crista da tíbia. O objetivo desse trabalho é descrever o caso de um cão, macho, três anos de idade, da raça West White Terrier com ruptura do ligamento cruzado cranial e utilização da técnica de Maquet
