ARTHRODESIS, IS IT A WAY TO GO? – A CASE SERIES
Arthrodesis is a surgical fusion of two or more joints to form a bony ankylosis. It should be saved as the last resort for when other orthopaedic techniques fail. The indications for arthrodesis are irreparable fractures of joints, chronically unstable joints, chronic severe degenerative joint disease, a neurological injury, etc. This paper describes a series of cases of arthrodesis performed on clinical patients and different joints with favourable outcomes. Over the last few years, several animals underwent an arthrodesis procedure at the Clinic for Surgery, Orthopaedics and Ophthalmology, FVMUZ, in order to preserve the limb function. The first one, a 2-year-old mixed-breed female (weighing over 40 kg), had an arthrodesis of the stifle because of a failed patella surgery. The stifle arthrodesis was stabilised with a LC-DCP 4.5 steel plate. The second one, a 7-month-old mixed-breed male, had the same surgery, but the stifle was stabilised with a 3.5 DCP steel plate. The third patient, a 2- year-old French Bulldog, was diagnosed with a Gustilo Anderson type IIIB open fracture of the left medial malleolus and luxation of a tarsal joint and the left hip joint. Because of excessive wounds throughout the body, some of them being necrotic, the arthrodesis surgery was scheduled two months after the trauma. A Fixin (Intrauma S.p.A) 1.9–2.5 hybrid plate was placed at the dorsal side of the talocrural joint for a pantarsal arthrodesis. The fourth patient was a 3-year-old French Bulldog who had lateral condyle fracture of a humerus. After the first surgery and implant failure, he underwent an arthrodesis surgery of the elbow with a Fixin 3.0–3.5 plate. The last patient was a 5-year-old German Shepard who underwent a bilateral pancarpal arthrodesis surgery with a DCP stainless steel hybrid plate and a Fixin 3.0–3.5 carpal arthrodesis hybrid plate after a chronic carpal instability. All of the patients recovered fully after the procedures. Arthrodesis has proved to be a satisfactory method when other methods fail, and should be considered as a better option than limb amputation.
