Dirsek displazisi belirlenen 10 köpekte klinik ve radyolojik değerlendirmeler

Çalışma materyalini, ön ekstremite topallığı şikayeti ile kliniğe getirilen ve dirsek displazisi belirlenen değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetteki 10 köpek oluşturdu. Klinik ve radyolojik muayeneler sonucunda displazinin tipi ve derecesi belirlendikten sonra 7 olguda şirurjikal sağaltım, 3 olguda ise ilerlemiş olan osteoartrite bağlı olarak semptomatik sağaltım uygulandı. Sağaltım girişimleri sonucunda 4 olguda çok iyi, 4 olguda iyi, 2 olguda ise orta dereceli sonuçlar elde edildi. Sonuç olarak; dirsek displazisi belirlenen köpeklerde, kronik dejeneratif lezyonlar şekillenmeden uygulanan şirurjikal sağaltımın hastalığın prognozunda önemli olduğu ve destekleyici medikal sağaltımın da katkı sağlayacağı kanısına varıldı.

Clinical and radiological evaluation of elbow dysplasia in 10 dogs

The study material was composed of 10 dogs from various breed, age and sex brought to clinic with complaint of forelimb lameness in which elbow dysplasia was found. After clinical and radiological examinations types and the degrees of the dysplasia were identified. Seven of the cases were surgically interfered where only symptomatic treatment was performed in three. After treatment process’, results were excellent in 4, good in 4 and moderate in 2 cases. As a result it was concluded that; surgical intervention performed before the occurence of the chronic degenerative lesions was found to be efficient for the prognosis and supportive medical treatment has significant role in relieving of clinical symptoms.
