Sığırlarda Güç Doğum ile İlişkili Buzağı Metakarpal Kırıkları: Buzağılar Arasından Olgu Serisi
Büyükbaş hayvancılık işletmelerinde, doğum sırasında aşırı çekme ve/veya yanlış uygulamalar sonucunda matakarpal kırıklara rastlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı uygulamalara ve kemiğin biyofiziksel risk faktörlerine göre buzağılarda metakarpal kırıkların klinik özelliklerinin sunulmasıdır. Ocak 2006 ile Ocak 2013 arasında metacarpus kırığı olan buzağıların medikal kayıtları değerlendirildi. Klinik ve radyografik muayeneler sonrasında kırıkların tipleri ve lokalizasyonu kayıt altına alındı. Buzağıların bireysel koşulları ve sahibinin tutumu ile ilişkili olarak tedavi prosedürleri uygulandı. Güç doğum sonucu 32 adet Holstein-Friesian ırkı buzağıda oluşan metacarpal kırık incelendi. Tüm kırıklar halatın uygulandığı bölgenin etrafında görüldü. Kırıkların büyük bir bölümü [32 vakanın 22’si (%68.75)] kemiğin distal 1/3’ünde (distal %33.3) gözlendi. Toplamda 19 oblik, 10 transversal, 3 transversal parçalı kırık tespit edildi. Aynı zamanda deride yumuşak doku lezyonları (ödem, subkutaneöz ve/veya peteşiyal hemorajier) kayıt altına alındı. Fetal ekstraksiyon araçlarının tasarımını ve ekstraksiyon için alternatif uygulamaları geliştirerek, gelecekte bu komplikasyonun insidansı azaltılabilir.

Calf Metacarpal Fractures in Association with Bovine Dystocia: Case Series Among Calves
Metacarpal fractures related to excessive and/or inaccurately traction during delivery has been encountered in large animal livestock. The purpose of this study is presented of clinical features of metacarpal fractures in calves by regarding different applications and bone’s biophysical risk factors. Medical records of metacarpal fractured calves between January 2006 and January 2013 were evaluated. After clinical and radiographically examinations, the types and localization of fractures were recorded. Regarding to the individual condition of calves and also attitude of owner, several treatment procedures were performed. Thirty-two metacarpal fractures in Holstein-Friesian calves related to extraction force were studied. All fractures were observed around that the place of the rope application. Most of the fractures [22 of 32 cases (68.75%)] were located distal 1/3 part (distal 33.3%) of the bone. Total 19 oblique, 10 transversal, 3 transversal comminuted fractures were determined. Soft tissue lesions (edema, subcutaneous and/or petechial hemorrhage) on the skin recorded concomitantly. By improving the design of fetal extraction tools and alternative applications for extraction, incidence of this complication may be reduced in the future.
