Abstract:

 

This study is aimed to evaluate the elbow dysplasia by International Elbow Working Group (IEWG) standarts. The subject of the study is 20 dogs which are brought to Ankara University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Surgery, Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic between 2008-2011 with forelimb lameness due to elbow dysplasia suspect after clinical and radiologic examinations. Bilgili-Ulusan Lameness Scale is used to grade the lameness. The elbow radiographs were taken in four special positions which IEWG accepts as standart radiographies to score the elbow dysplasia. The radiographic examination is done under general anesthesia. 25% of all cases is described as 0 degree healthy joint, 5% is 1st degree, 5% is 2nd degree and 65% of all cases are diagnosed as 3rd degree elbow dysplastic joints.

 

Bu çalışmanın konusunu 2008-2011 yılları arasında Ankara Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Kliniği'ne ön ekstremite topallığı şikâyeti ile getirilen ve klinik, radyolojik muayeneleri sonucu dirsek displazisi şüpheli, değişik yaş, ırk ve cinsiyetteki 20 köpek oluşturdu. Olguların topallık değerlendirmeleri Bilgili-Ulusan Topallık Değerlendirme Skalası’na göre yapıldı. Olguların dirsek eklemi radyografileri Uluslararası Dirsek Çalışma Grubu (IEWG) standardı olan 4 ayrı pozisyonda çekildi. Radyografilerin alınması esnasında hastalara genel anestezi uygulandı. Çalışmayı oluşturan olguların %25’i 0 derece sağlıklı dirsek eklemi, %5’i 1. derece dirsek displazili, %5’i 2. derece dirsek displazili, geri kalan %65’i ise 3. derece dirsek displazisine sahip olarak saptandı.
