Wry nose (campylorrhinus lateralis) in foals leads to breathing and weaning problems as well as reduced performance. The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a new gingival approach for, and report the outcome after, surgical correction of wry nose in two foals. Two young foals with wry nose were surgically treated using a gingival approach. Osteotomy of the incisive and maxillary bones was carried out, and a 3.5-mm locking compression plate (LCP) with screws was inserted in the incisive and maxillary bones and in several teeth to stabilise the gap. The rostral part of the nasal septum was resected, and osteotomy and plate fixation were used to correct the nasal bone deviation. A 2.4-mm UniLOCK plate was used in one foal and 2.7-mm LCP in the other. Respiratory difficulties and facial malformation were markedly reduced in both foals. The existing brachygnathia superior and nasal bone deviation could not be completely eliminated. Main limitation was the small sample size of only two foals. In conclusion surgical correction of wry nose through a gingival approach resulted in a good outcome with a significant reduction in the deviation and associated clinical signs.

在两只马驹中使用锁定压缩板矫正歪鼻的牙龈方法

歪鼻 ( campylorrhinuslateralis )) 在马驹中会导致呼吸和断奶问题以及性能下降。这项回顾性研究的目的是描述一种新的牙龈方法，并报告手术矫正两只马驹歪鼻后的结果。使用牙龈方法对两只歪鼻子的小马驹进行了手术治疗。对切​​骨和上颌骨进行截骨，并在切骨和上颌骨以及几颗牙齿中插入一个带螺钉的 3.5 mm 锁定加压板 (LCP) 以稳定间隙。切除鼻中隔喙部，采用截骨和钢板固定矫正鼻骨偏斜。一只马驹使用 2.4 毫米 UniLOCK 板，另一只马驹使用 2.7 毫米 LCP。两匹马驹的呼吸困难和面部畸形均明显减少。现有的上颌短和鼻骨偏斜不能完全消除。主要限制是只有两只小马驹的小样本量。总之，通过牙龈入路手术矫正歪鼻产生了良好的结果，显着减少了偏差和相关的临床症状。
