Yenidoğan bir buzağıda suprakondiler femur kırığı olgusu ve operatif sağaltımı

Bu olgu sunumunda Fırat Üniversitesi, Veteriner Fakültesi, Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı Kliniklerine getirilen 1 günlük, Simental ırkı erkek bir buzağıda gözlenen sağ suprakondiler femur kırığı olgusu ve operatif sağaltımının rapor edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Hayvanın üç bacak üzerinde yürüdüğü, sağ femur bölgesinde bölgesel deformasyon, sağ bacakta kısalık gözlendi. Yapılan klinik ve radyolojik muayeneler sonucunda femurda suprakondiler kırık bulunduğu saptandı. Hayvan operasyona alındı ve iki adet 5 numara Steinmann pin retrograd yöntemle yerleştirilerek femurun intramedullar fiksasyonu gerçekleştirildi. Hayvanın ilgili bacağı tırnak ucundan itibaren kalça eklemini de içine alacak şekilde PVC destekli bandaja alındı ve bandaj 15. günde yenilendi. Klinik ve radyolojik kontrolleri 15 gün ara ile gerçekleştirilen buzağının 3 aylık bulguları hayvanın tam olarak iyileştiğini gösterdi.

Supracondyler femoral fracture and its treatment in a newborn calf: a case report

The aim of this presentation is to report right supracondyler femoral fracture and its surgical treatment in a newborn Simental breed male calf presented to Surgery Clinic, Veterinary Faculty, Firat University. It was determined that the calf tried to walk on three legs, had regional deformity on the right femur and possessed short right hind leg. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed supracondyler femoral fracture. The case underwent surgery and the fracture was immobilized with intramedullar femoral fixation by placing two 5 no Steinmann pins with retrograd approach. The related leg was bandaged with PVC enforced splint from the hoof up to the hip joint, which was renewed at the 15th day of the surgery. From clinical and radiographic findings assessed at 15 days intervals, the calf was determined to have a full recovery 3 months after surgery.
