Abstract:

 Arthroscopy is an important surgical technique in the diagnosis and treatment of joint injuries. In this study, it was aimed to contribute to veterinary clinical practice and literature by describing the arthroscopic approach and anatomy for metacarpometatarsophalangeal MCPMTP joints in cattle. The study material consisted of 10 MCP and 10 MTP joints of 5 cattle slaughtered in a slaughterhouse. Arthroscopically, these joints were approached from the dorsal and palmarpalantar directions, and the intra-articular structures were identified by arthroscopic visualization. In the dorsal approach, synovial villi, distal metacarpusmetatarsus and distal I. phalanx were visualized, while in the palmarpalantar approach, proximal sesamoid bones and transverse sesamoid ligaments were visualized as well as these structures. In conclusion, it is important to know the arthroscopic approach techniques in MCPMTP joints as in many other joints. These techniques can aid in the evaluation and visualization of intra-articular structures. However, in cases of joint damage, the normal anatomy of the joint and arthroscopic entry sites may change. Therefore, it will be important to evaluate the techniques in clinical cases as well.

 Artroskopi eklem hasarlarının tanı ve tedavisinde önemli yer tutar. Bu çalışmada sığırlarda metakarpometatarsofalangeal MCPMTP eklemleri için artroskopik yaklaşımı ve anatomisini tanımlayarak klinik pratiğe katkı sağlaması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini mezbahada kesimi yapılmış 5 sığırın 10 MCP ve 10 MTP eklemi oluşturdu. Artroskopik olarak bu eklemlere dorsal ve palmarpalantar yönden yaklaşıldı ve intraartiküler yapılar artroskopik olarak görüntülenerek tanımlandı. Dorsal yaklaşımda sinovyal villuslar, metakarpusmetatarsusun distali ve I. falanksın distali, palmarpalantar yaklaşımda ise bu yapıların yanısıra proksimal sesamoid kemikler, çapraz sesamoid ligamentler görüntülendi. Sonuç olarak, diğer birçok eklemde olduğu gibi MCPMTP eklemlerinde de artroskopik yaklaşım tekniklerinin bilinmesi önemlidir. Bu teknikler intraartiküler yapıların değerlendirilmesine ve görselleştirilmesine yardımcı olabilir. Ancak eklem hasarı olduğu durumlarda eklemin normal anatomisi ve artroskopik giriş yerleri değişebilir. Bu nedenle klinik vakalarda da tekniklerin değerlendirilmesi önemli olacaktır.
