Abstract
The most common orthopedic pathology on the thoracic extremities in service dogs of different breeds are bone growth pathologies in the area of the zygopodium. The objects for the study were intact service dogs of different breeds. The research was conducted at the TrustVet Veterinary Clinic and at the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine. As a result of the study, it was found that the most optimal method for shortening the ulna, as a method of surgical treatment of short radius syndrome, is distal ostectomy at the age of up to 6 months inclusive. Distal ostectomy with destruction of the interosseous membrane after the age of 6 months and up to 10 months will have similar results as in the age group under 6 months. However, such a statement can be true only if there is no osteoarthritis and other severe damage to the elbow joint. The study also resulted in the development of a number of recommendations for the treatment and prevention of incongruence in the elbow joint: we recommend that in all cases of shortening of the ulna and radial incongruence in the elbow joint without concomitant angular deformities of the bones in all age groups indicated in our study, distal ostectomy should be performed due to the best results after its implementation; the most optimal age for surgical The treatment is under the age of 6-7 months; it is recommended to conduct a preventive orthopedic examination with X-ray examination at the age of 6 to 7 months, since often in the age group of patients of 8-10 months, a routine examination reveals lameness of the 1st – 2nd degree, X-ray signs of chronic osteoarthritis of the elbow joint, fragmentation of the medial coronary process; it is recommended to perform a dynamic oblique proximal ostectomy of the ulna.
