Intervertebral fusion for the repair of articular cervical fractures in three horses.
Objective: To report successful stabilization of three cervical fracture types with articular involvement using different ventral cervical intervertebral fusion constructs.
Animals: A 9-year-old French sport pony gelding, a 5-year-old Anglo-Arabian gelding and a 2-year-old French Warmblood mare.
Study design: Short case series.
Methods: Ventral cervical intervertebral fusion was performed in three cervical fracture cases: A vertebral body, a vertebral arch and a unilateral facet joint fracture. Selected implants for this purpose were an 11-hole 4.5/5.0 LCP, a three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium cervical interbody spacer and plate, and a 3D-printed titanium interbody spacer combined with a 5-hole 4.5/5.0 locking compression plate, respectively. These implants were applied with locking and/or cancellous screws.
Results: Postoperative radiographs showed fracture healing associated with a reduction in size of the immobilized facet joints. When present preoperatively, ataxia resolved following surgery. Fracture healing was associated with an excellent postoperative functional outcome in all three reported cases.
Conclusion: Surgeons should consider ventral cervical intervertebral fusion techniques to manage cervical fractures with articular involvement.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Surgery, the official publication of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and European College of Veterinary Surgeons, is a source of up-to-date coverage of surgical and anesthetic management of animals, addressing significant problems in veterinary surgery with relevant case histories and observations.
It contains original, peer-reviewed articles that cover developments in veterinary surgery, and presents the most current review of the field, with timely articles on surgical techniques, diagnostic aims, care of infections, and advances in knowledge of metabolism as it affects the surgical patient. The journal places new developments in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary to help better understand and evaluate the surgical patient.
