Abstract

Objectives

The objective of this study was to present the follow-up findings obtained through computed tomography in skeletally immature French bulldogs previously diagnosed with humeral intracondylar fissures.

Materials and Methods

Medical records from a surgical referral centre between January 2018 and September 2022 were evaluated for all dogs with a humeral condylar fracture where preoperative CT of both humeri was performed. French bulldogs between the age of 12 weeks and 12 months were identified and evaluated for the presence of contralateral humeral intracondylar fissure. The dogs with follow-up CT were evaluated for humeral intracondylar fissure resolution.

Results

A total of 137 humeral condylar fractures were operated on within the study period, 58 of which were in French bulldogs. Twenty-seven French bulldogs had a contralateral humeral intracondylar fissure with 12 dogs matching the inclusion criteria. Follow-up CT demonstrated resolution of the humeral intracondylar fissure in 11 (91.7%) of 12 cases.

Clinical Significance

Contralateral humeral intracondylar fissures are common in skeletally immature French bulldogs sustaining humeral condylar fractures and the majority of these fissures tend to fuse within the follow-up period. Due to the potential for breed variation in ossification of the humeral condyle, follow-up CT may be warranted in skeletally immature French bulldogs before considering prophylactic transcondylar screw placement.

曾被诊断为肱骨髁内裂的骨骼未成熟法国斗牛犬的计算机断层扫描再评估：12 个病例（2018-2022 年）。

研究目的本研究的目的是通过计算机断层扫描，对之前被诊断为肱骨髁内裂的骨骼未成熟的法国斗牛犬进行随访：对一家外科转诊中心在 2018 年 1 月至 2022 年 9 月期间的医疗记录进行了评估，所有肱骨髁内骨折的犬均在术前进行了双肱骨 CT 检查。对年龄在 12 周到 12 个月之间的法国斗牛犬进行鉴定，并评估是否存在对侧肱骨髁内裂。对接受 CT 随访的犬只进行肱骨髁内裂隙消除情况评估：研究期间共对 137 只肱骨髁内骨折的狗进行了手术，其中 58 只为法国斗牛犬。27只法国斗牛犬的对侧肱骨髁内裂，其中12只符合纳入标准。随访 CT 显示，12 个病例中有 11 个（91.7%）的肱骨髁内裂隙已经愈合：临床意义：肱骨髁内对侧裂隙常见于肱骨髁骨折后骨骼尚未发育成熟的法国斗牛犬，大多数裂隙会在随访期内愈合。由于肱骨髁骨化可能存在品种差异，在考虑预防性经髁螺钉置入之前，可能需要对骨骼尚未发育成熟的法国斗牛犬进行后续 CT 检查。

期刊介绍： Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP) is a monthly peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical research papers and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to dogs, cats and other small animals. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. JSAP publishes high quality original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of small animal medicine and surgery. In addition to original articles, JSAP will publish invited editorials (relating to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest), review articles, which provide in-depth discussion of important clinical issues, and other scientific and educational information from around the world. The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editor. All papers, regardless of type, represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editor, the Association or the Publisher. The Journal of Small Animal Practice is published on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and is also the official scientific journal of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association
