In preparing these Guidelines, the Panel has carefully reviewed the existing published literature, and has also graded the quality of evidence for different interventions to help to provide practical recommendations on the therapeutic options for feline CKD. This is a field of veterinary medicine that has benefited from some excellent published clinical research and further research findings will undoubtedly modify the recommendations contained in these Guidelines in the future.

“…Similar to other examples of veterinary use of living donors such as feline renal transplantation, 49 primary ethical concerns include the short‐term and long‐term risks for the donor, this being the healthy mare in this case. Evaluating potential harm and benefits for the donor and the recipient by the veterinarian is therefore critical 50 . In human medicine, the reported overall major complication rate at bone graft donor sites was 8.6% 51 .…”

“…Evaluating potential harm and benefits for the donor and the recipient by the veterinarian is therefore critical. 50 In human medicine, the reported overall major complication rate at bone graft donor sites was 8.6%. 51 Possible complications reported in horses include fracture when utilizing the humerus or the tibia as graft donor site, incisional infection, osteomyelitis, seroma formation and drainage with peri-incisional oedema.…”

Maternal allogeneic cancellous bone graft for the treatment of osteitis along the physeal scar of the proximal metatarsus in a foal

Objective: To describe the treatment and outcome of a foal with a fresh allogenic cancellous bone graft after surgical debridement of a traumatic septic osteitis.Animal: A neonatal Quarter Horse foal. Study design: Case report. Methods:The foal sustained a traumatic laceration exposing the proximal third metatarsal bone. One week after surgical debridement and closure, radiographic signs of septic osteitis were noted along the physeal scar. The lesion was debrided, and antimicrobial therapy was implemented. The infection resolved but left a large defect in the metaphysis and epiphysis. Grafting was indicated to avoid pathologic fractures of the plantar and proximal cortices.Due to a discrepancy between defect size and the bone stock of the foal, an allogeneic cancellous bone graft was harvested from the dam's tuber coxae and used to fill the foal's defect. Results: No adverse reactions to the graft were noted. After 1 month, the wound had healed. Radiographic examination was consistent with graft incorporation in the bone structure. The foal was sound at a walk and trot when examined at 6, 12, and 21 months. The bone's contour was even and its structure homogeneously radio dense. The surgical site of the mare healed without complications. Conclusion: Fresh allogenic cancellous bone grafting resulted in the healing of a large traumatic-septic bone defect in a foal, with an excellent functional and cosmetic outcome. For future use, compatibility testing should be considered prior to allogeneic bone grafting.
