“…Нарушение целостности костей является частой патологией у лошадей и требует оказания незамедлительной помощи, при этом травмируются, преимущественно, кости дистального отдела конечностей. Данные о частоте встречаемости переломов проксимальной фаланги довольно неоднозначны, согласно иностран-ным источникам, вариабельность находится в пределах от 7 до 30% [3,6]. По данным зарубежной литературы, наиболее часто встречаемый вид перелома у лошадей является сагиттальный [9].…”

Sagittal fractures are the most common injury of the proximal phalanx in horses. Choosing the optimal treatment tactics allows you to eliminate the physiological consequences of injury. The aim of this work was to compare the effectiveness of traditional and surgical methods of treatment of horses with short incomplete sagittal fractures of the putus bone. Thus, the study included horses (n=20) with short incomplete sagittal fractures of the proximal phalanx, which were then divided into two groups. In the first group (n=10), treatment was based on the application of a plaster cast, changing every 14 days. Osteosynthesis by screw fixation was performed in the second experimental group (n=10). Clinical and radiological research methods were used in the work. Complete radiographic healing was confirmed in 100% of animals in the second group, where osteosynthesis was performed by screw fixation, they returned to full athletic load without complications. However, in the first group of horses to which a plaster cast was applied, only 72.7% of animals and 27.3% of horses completely recovered their athletic qualities due to the development of complications, in the form of osteoarthritis changes, were excluded from sports. The proposed method of treating fractures in horses of the second group using the screw fixation method increases the possibility of animals returning to their previous loads. The rehabilitation technique developed and implemented in the clinic expands the possibilities of use in practical veterinary medicine.

When performing osteosynthesis by screw fixation, it is important to carry out operational planning (choosing the screw of the optimal length and diameter). Choosing the optimal osteosynthesis tactics and the correct screw size allows you to stimulate regeneration and prevent possible complications. The X-ray examination method is included in the mandatory criterion of preoperative examination, which allows you to determine the size of the deformation and bone parameters. The present study is based on the hypothesis that the lifetime X-ray measurement of the bone of the proximal phalanx of a horse (longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the proximal and distal epiphysis and diaphysis, bone length), allows us to justify the size and technique of fixing the screw in the treatment of fractures. Morphometric studies included macroscopic dissection; morphometry of bone preparations; Xray measurement of the putus bone; documentation of the data obtained, photographing. A morphometric study was performed on 20 bone preparations (10 thoracic and 10 pelvic) and 40 X-ray images (20 in lateromedial and 20 in dorso-palmar/plantar projections) of the proximal phalanx of the horse. As a result of the work performed, it was found that the variability of parameters (longitudinal and transverse size of the proximal epiphysis, longitudinal and transverse size of the distal epiphysis; the longitudinal and transverse size of the diaphysis, bone length) of the fetal bone of the thoracic and pelvic limbs in horses for average values has no significant deviations (up to 1%), while the differences between the minimum and maximum values range from 20.0% to 66.6% for values obtained by anatomical method; from 12.2% and 33.3% for the Xray method.
