“…Existing treatment methods have been improved and new stabilization techniques have been developed to address this issue. One such solution is the use of a semi-circular external fixator, developed by Adamiak (2010), for the osteosynthesis of long bone fractures. The results of clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of the semi-circular fixator in the treatment of tibia and ulna fractures were discussed by Adamiak (2010) in the Veterinary Record.…”

This study discusses the results of a histological examination of bone calluses in the treatment of tibia fractures in sheep with the involvement of a semi-circular fixator. In all sheep, callus samples revealed the presence of well-developed, compact bone tissue in the area of fracture healing. It was found that the use of a semi-circular fixator promoted bone growth, and that it is an effective method for tibia fracture treatment in sheep.

“…In der Fachliteratur wurden bislang nur wenige Berichte über Frakturbehandlungen bei kleinen Wiederkäuern publiziert und dies sind Fallberichte über einzelne (3,14,15) bzw. sechs und acht Tiere mit Schaftfrakturen von Tibia und Radius/Ulna (1,19). Dies war Anlass für die Durchführung dieser retrospektiven Studie mit Auswertung der Patientendaten und Erfolgsquoten der Frakturbehandlung bei einer größeren Tierzahl, um zukünftig bei konservativer wie chirurgischer Behandlung die Prognose anhand evidenzbasierter Ergebnisse abschätzen zu können.…”

“…Besitzer von Hobby-und wertvollen Zuchttieren sind zunehmend bereit, kostenintensive Behandlungen durchführen zu lassen (24), sofern Prognose und Erfolgsquote als günstig eingestuft werden können, wie die wenigen Fallberichte bei Frakturen kleiner Wiederkäuer mit Erfolgsquoten von ca. 80 % nahelegen (1,3,14,15,19).…”

“…Solch hohe Erfolgsquoten lassen für die Frakturbehandlung von Gliedmaßenknochen kleiner Wiederkäuer, die im Vergleich zum Kalb ein deutlich niedrigeres mittleres Körpergewicht aufweisen, ähnlich gute oder sogar noch bessere Ergebnisse erwarten. In der Literatur wurde von sehr guten Heilungsquoten bei Frakturen kleiner Wiederkäuer berichtet (1,3,8,14,15,18,19). Diese Publikationen beschrieben jedoch nur eine geringe Anzahl von einem bis acht Tieren, sodass sich daraus kaum allgemeine Aussagen ableiten lassen.…”

Because of an overall treatment success rate of 92.6 %, it is strongly recommended that also in the practice, particularly conservative treatment of limb fractures in sheep and goats should be performed. In particular, metacarpal, metatarsal, and phalangeal fractures, which can frequently be diagnosed by careful and thorough palpation, have proved to be very suitable for conservative treatment. In contrast, internal fixation is the method of choice for proximal limb fractures.

Objectives The aim of this study was to describe a case of an intra-articular olecranon fracture in a lamb repaired using a String of Pearls locking plate system, intramedullary pin and lag screws. Materials and Methods A 6-month-old, 20 kg, purebred male Merino lamb was referred for evaluation of a non-weight bearing lameness of the left thoracic limb of unknown duration. Orthogonal radiographic assessment of the left elbow revealed a complete, closed, long sagittal oblique, minimally displaced fracture of the olecranon involving the ulnar shaft at the level of the radial physis, extending proximally through the distal semilunar notch to the mid-body of the olecranon. The fracture was repaired using a String of Pearls locking plate system spanning both the proximal radius and olecranon, an intramedullary pin in the ulna and lag screws across the fracture line. Results Orthogonal radiographic assessment of the left elbow at 8 weeks postoperatively revealed implant quiescence with radiographic union of the fracture site. Long-term telephone follow-up at 3 and 6 months postoperatively found the patient was no longer restricted in activity, with free access to the field, and was not displaying an overt lameness. Clinical Significance The authors describe a novel method to treat an intra-articular in a lamb olecranon fracture in a lamb using a String of Pearls locking plate system, intramedullary pin and lag screws.
