摘要
大象是泰国的国兽,代表忠诚、长寿和力量三个方面。泰国大象经常被用于砍伐森林和旅游活动,如骑象、骑马和淋浴。本病例报告重点介绍了一头正在淋浴的泰国大象左前肢指甲上的创伤。指甲伤口会发生感染和组织坏死。经 X 射线检查确认,发现了一块疑似远端趾骨的骨片。然而,由于大象服用镇静剂的风险很高,因此不建议采用手术方法。使用消毒剂和局部抗生素对创伤伤口进行了常规清洁。骨片在周围组织坏死后被移除。根据伤口的位置和情况,该病例的预后良好。
Traumatic toenail wound in a Thai elephant (Elephas maximus indicus)
Elephant is Thailand’s national animal which represents three aspects: loyalty, longevity, and strength. Thai elephants are often used for deforestation and tourist activities, such as elephants, riding, and showering. This case report highlights a traumatic wound in the left foreleg nail of a showering Thai elephant. Nail wounds undergo infection and tissue necrosis. A bone fragment suspected to be part of the distal phalanges was found and confirmed by X-ray examination. However, a surgical approach is not recommended because of the high risk of sedation in elephants. Routine wound cleaning with antiseptics and topical antibiotics was performed on the traumatic wounds. The bone fragment was removed after necrosis of the surrounding tissues. The prognosis for this case was considered good based on the location and wound condition.
