“…1,2 Limb-salvage procedures have been described in the distal aspect of the radius, [3][4][5][6][7][8] proximal humerus, 9,10 distal tibia, 3,10,11 and proximal femur 12 in dogs with OSA, but limb-sparing surgery for tumors of the distal aspect of the radius has produced the most favorable results. [3][4][5][6] This is largely because pancarpal arthrodesis is well tolerated by dogs, [13][14][15] whereas arthrodesis of other sites (e.g., shoulder, stifle, and tarsus) is associated with poor postoperative limb function. 3,9 Cortical allografts (CAs) have traditionally been used to reconstruct the radius after tumor resection.…”

Cortical Allograft and Endoprosthesis for Limb‐Sparing Surgery in Dogs with Distal Radial Osteosarcoma: A Prospective Clinical Comparison of Two Different Limb‐Sparing Techniques

An endoprosthesis is an attractive alternative to cortical allografts for limb-salvage of the distal aspect of the radius in dogs because surgical and oncologic outcomes are similar, but the endoprosthesis is an immediately available off-the-shelf implant which is not complicated by the bone harvesting and banking requirements associated with cortical allografts. Mechanisms whereby postoperative infection improves survival time requires further investigation and, if elucidated, may provide the opportunity to improve the outcome of dogs and humans with OSA.

“…This is not unexpected, as PCA eliminates fl exion and extension of the carpus during the stride, requiring the dog to laterally circumduct the limb during the swing phase of the gait, to allow for correct placement of the foot at the beginning of the stance phase of the gait. Force-plate analysis of dogs following PCA has shown a prolonged stance phase, with decreased craniocaudal peak forces compared with normal dogs (Maarschalkerweerd et al 1996). The maximal vertical loading rate of the limbs is not signifi cantly different from normal dogs, indicating that the gait abnormality observed is a mechanical change in the gait rather than a paininduced lameness (Maarschalkerweerd et al 1996;Worth and Bruce 2008).…”

“…Articular cartilage is debrided from the joints, and an autogenous cancellous bone graft is packed into the joint spaces prior to closure of the surgical site. The clinical ability of dogs to return to normal activity has been reported to be >70%, although no specifi c distinction of working dogs was made in those studies (Parker et al 1981;Denny and Barr 1991;Maarschalkerweerd et al 1996).…”

AIM: To determine whether working dogs in New Zealand with carpal injuries and treated with unilateral pancarpal arthrodesis (PCA), using a dorsal hybrid-plating method, are able to return to satisfactory working ability. METHODS:Fourteen working dogs presented to the Veterinary Specialist Group (VSG) and the Massey University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (MUVTH) with carpal injuries were prospectively treated using dorsal hybrid plating. Dogs were eligible if actively involved in farm, hunting or police work. Dogs had a standardised PCA surgical procedure performed, and similar instructions for post-operative care were provided. Dogs were re-evaluated clinically and radiographically at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. A questionnaire was completed by 12 owners, to assess each dog's working ability. RESULTS:Twelve months following arthrodesis, 10/12 (83%) dogs could perform most or all duties normally. Eleven owners (92%) reported that the result of the surgery met their expectations, and nine owners (75%) were very satisfi ed with the outcome of the surgery. No owners were disappointed or very disappointed with the surgical outcome. Post-operative complications requiring surgical removal of the implant occurred in three (25%) dogs. CONCLUSIONS:Unilateral PCA using a standardised surgical procedure and dorsal hybrid plating of carpal injuries has a good prognosis for working dogs in New Zealand to return to work. CLINICAL RELEVANCE:These results may allow veterinarians to provide a more accurate prognosis to owners of working dogs that have debilitating carpal injury
