Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the types, treatment approaches, complications, and long-term outcomes of canine acetabular fractures, as well as the factors influencing these outcomes.
- - A review of case records showed that most fractures occurred in the mid and caudal parts of the acetabulum, with many dogs also having concurrent injuries, and the treatment outcomes varied based on fracture location.
- - Post-surgical neurological deficits were observed in some dogs following both surgical procedures, with conservative management showing poorer pain outcomes compared to more aggressive treatments like direct surgical repair.
Background: Certain postoperative wounds are recognised to be associated with more complications than others and may be termed high-risk. Wound healing can be particularly challenging following high-energy trauma where wound necrosis and infection rates are high. Surgical incision for joint arthrodesis can also be considered high-risk as it requires extensive and invasive surgery and postoperative distal limb swelling and wound dehiscence are common.
