Calcaneal Fractures in Non‐Racing Dogs and Cats: Complications, Outcome, and Associated Risk Factors

Abstract: This study reports a high occurrence of complications associated with calcaneal fracture stabilization in non-racing dogs and in cats, and a poorer outcome score was more likely in animals with complications. A more guarded prognosis should be given to owners of non-racing dogs or cats with calcaneal fractures than previously applied to racing Greyhounds with calcaneal fractures.

“…The authors postulate that this is, again, likely to be related to the differences in both fracture patterns and pathogenesis between study groups and can, in all probability, be attributed to the acute axial force associated with the injuries in our cohort compared with the repetitive axial loading and fatigue fracture in the racing population. 1,[3][4][5]18 Tarsal triads were seen only in 4 of 32 (95% CI 4.1%; 29.9%), or 12.5%, of dogs in this nonracing cohort in comparison to a previously reported rate of 25% in the racing greyhound population. 1 Although on initial assessment it appears that tarsal triads occur less frequently in the nonracing population, 25% remains within our 95% CI for this result, so we cannot be definitive regarding this.…”

“…For those cases in which follow-up was available (n = 29), final assessment took place at a median of 7 weeks (range, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The outcome (lameness) score at final follow-up was available for 28 cases and was classified as grade 0 in 14 cases, grade 1 in 7 cases, grade 2 in 4 cases, grade 4 in 1 case, and grade 5 in 2 cases (1 of which underwent amputation).…”
