Abstract

An eight-month old female mixed breed dog was presented to the at Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital, for tarsocrural arthrodesis. Previously the dog had been presented to a local animal clinic. Orthopedic and blood examinations were conducted. There was absent response of conscious proprioception on the right tarsocrural articulation. The dog stood knuckled onto the digits and had hock dropped but showed normal values in WBC, RBC, Hb, PCV, BUN, creatine, glucose, cholesterol, AST and ALT analyses. The dog was anesthetized and prepared for aseptic surgery. Steinmann pin and Joshi external fixators were applied(bilaterally). 11 weeks after the operation, the external fixators were removed from the bones. The hock dropped was well stabilized, but mild knuckling of distal metatarsopharangeal joint was remained.
