Abstract
A -year-old Basset Hound, previously diagnosed with temporomandibular joint dysplasia, presented with a 6-month history of pain during mastication and frequent open-mouth locking episodes. Oral examination under sedation revealed displacement of the mandible to the left and jaw fixation in an open position. Computed tomography images of the head performed in open and closed positions before and after surgery were obtained. A left partial coronoidectomy was performed using a radial TPLO saw blade, removing bone impingement between the coronoid process and zygomatic arch. The dog was eating soft food a couple of hours after surgery, and no further open-mouth locking episodes or pain associated with mouth opening were reported up to one year postoperatively. Functional results were achieved using this technique, with a rapid patient recovery.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science.
Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.
We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency. For further information visit the Wiley Open Access website.
