Abstract

Objective Olecranon process fractures are rare in bovines. The aim of the study was to put on record satisfactory limb usage in cattle and buffaloes suffering from olecranon fractures and treated conservatively, primarily for carpal contracture or to prevent it, using aluminum splints incorporated within a fiberglass cast along with stall confinement.

Study Design This one year study included 19 olecranon fractures in bovines (15 buffaloes and 4 cattle). Out of 19, 12 bovines (9 buffaloes and 3 cattle) were treated primarily to manage the associated carpal contracture, using external coaptation of aluminium splints incorporated within a fiberglass cast for 6 to 8 weeks. The owners of the remaining 7 bovines (6 buffaloes and 1 bullock) were only advised to keep their animal in stall-confinement, due to various reasons.

Results Slipping and falling on hard surfaces was the primary aetiology of olecranon fractures (17/19). Most of the fractures (14/19) were presented more than 10 days after a traumatic event, with a mean duration of 24.0 ± 26.6 days. On follow up, all the treated bovines showed satisfactory limb usage whereas all stall-confined buffaloes showed no improvement.

Conclusions Slipping and falling on hard surfaces is a common cause of olecranon fracture in bovines. Olecranon fractures associated carpal contracture can be successfully treated/prevented by applying full limb cast (if possible including elbow) along with aluminum splints leading to satisfactory limb usage in bovines. Further it is concluded that stall confinement alone is insufficient to prevent limb contracture (which usually develops with olecranon fracture in bovines) leading to permanent non-weight bearing disability.

铝夹板结合玻璃纤维铸件保留了鹰嘴骨折的牛的肢体功能。

摘要

目的 牛的鹰嘴突骨折很少见。这项研究的目的是在患有鹰嘴骨折的牛和水牛上记录令人满意的肢体使用情况,并保守治疗(主要用于腕部挛缩或预防腕关节挛缩),方法是将铝夹板结合在玻璃纤维铸模中并限制失速。

研究设计 这项为期一年的研究包括19例牛的鹰嘴骨折(15头水牛和4头牛)。在19个牛中,对12个牛(9个水牛和3头牛)进行了初步处理,以管理相关的腕关节挛缩症,方法是在玻璃纤维铸件中外部结合铝制夹板,持续6至8周。出于种种原因,仅建议其余7头牛(6只水牛和1只牛)的所有者将其动物保持在失速状态。

结果 鹰嘴骨骨折的主要病因是在坚硬表面上滑倒和脱落(17/19)。大多数骨折(14/19)在创伤事件发生后超过10天出现,平均持续时间为24.0±26.6天。随访时,所有处理过的牛均显示令人满意的肢体使用,而所有失速限制的水牛均无改善。

结论 在坚硬的表面上滑倒是造成鹰嘴鹰嘴骨折的常见原因。与腕骨挛缩相关的鹰嘴骨折可通过应用全肢铸造(如果可能包括肘部)以及铝制夹板成功治疗/预防,从而使牛的四肢使用满意。进一步的结论是,仅靠失速限制不足以防止肢体挛缩(通常由于牛的鹰嘴骨折而发展)导致永久性非负重残疾。
