摘要

Medial condylar fractures and spiraling lateral condylar fractures, like all articular fractures in the horse, are clearly best managed with internal fixation (lag screw or lag screw and plate fixation). There are two fracture configurations for thesefractures. The less common fracture configuration spirals from the fetlock to the tarsus/carpus and the spiraling fracture line can be followed along it's entire length. The more common fracture configuration spirals about halfway up the metatarsus/carpus and then either disappears or "Y's" off medially and laterally. The first less common fracture type is best managed with the standing application of lag screws. The fracture of interest for this presentation is the spiraling fracture that gets lost inthe middle of fhe bone. The primary challenge in these cases is not the repair itself but how to safely recover these horses from anesthesia. Early attempts at repair with distal lag screws alone had a high incidence of catastrophic fracture of the cannon bone during or shortly after recovery from anesthesia. Short limb cast coaptation was of no value in protecting these repairs from failure and possibly even made failure in the mid cannon bone more likely. Swimming pool recovery! systems were a big improvement in safely transitioning these horses from general anesthesia to standing but failures in the middle of the bone were still occurring with just lag screw repair. Approximately 20 years ago surgeons began applying plates, either laterally or medially to these fractures to protect the bone from castastrophic failure during recovery and the early postoperative period. Initially these plates were applied through open incisions. In those days, it wasJ not possible to follow the fracture line any further looking directly at the bone than you could follow it on radiographs so there was no real advantage to the open approach and subsequently these fractures have been repaired through a minimally invasive approach with the bottom two lag screw's placed through stabs and the plate placed in a sub-periosteal pocket made through a small incision. The screw holes in the plate are then palpated through the skin and the plate screws are placed through stab incisions over each hole in the plate. The horses are then recovered either in a pool recovery system if available or with head and tail rope assistance if no pool is available. In the absence of a pool some surgeons will apply a full limb cast for recovery from anesthesia and, while this method will protect the fracture, there are clearly risks associated with recovering horses in full hind limb casts. The current trend for repairing these fractures standing with distal lag screws is, in my opinion, risky. It does nothing to protect the middle of the bone from catastrophic failure. While the incidence of catastrophic failure in untreated fractures and fractures repaired with distal lag screws only is unknown, estimates have ranged as high as 50%. Clearly, in my opinion, the incidence of failure is no where near that high. Based on the number of horses that arrive for surgery with the "Y" component of the fracture visible radiographically or horses in which the "Y" component of the fracture opens up under the plate after repair my best guess is that somewhere between 10 -20% of horses would suffer castastrophic failure if the middle of the bone is not protected.
