The operational method (V-cut pelvic osteotomy) was applied on seven dogs. Pubic symphysis was cut in an inverted "V" fashion and a bone gap occurred between pelvic halves. The gap was reduced by contracting both sides of the pelvis. A new pubic symphysis developed. Results were evaluated with radiographs and different clinical and orthopedic tests. Radiographic measures between mutual parts of pelvic bone showed a marked increase in Norberg angles and diminishing in Bardens, Barlow, and Ortolani orthopedic tests after operations. Principal conclusion: V-cut pelvic ostectomy was found to be a successful operation technique in treatment of canine hip dysplasia.
A three-week-old Arabian female foal and a three-week-old Silesian male foal were diagnosed with carpal valgosity confirmed by radiographic evaluation. In both cases, the wire bridge method was used for treatment. After the operation, mobility restriction was recommended. Even though the foals differed significantly in weight, the outcome was good. This confirms that the wire bridge method is an effective method of treating carpal valgosity and leads to fast recovery (within 3-4 weeks).
