İngiliz Setter Irkı Bir Köpekte Anonychia ve İkinci Falanks Kırığı Olgusu

Anonychia önemli kemik anomalileri olmaksızın tırnakların yokluğu ile karakterize nadir görülen bir anomalidir. Bu olgu sunumunda arka bacağında topallık anamnezi bulunan, İngiliz setter ırkı 2 yaşlı erkek bir köpek değerlendirildi. Fiziksel muayenede sol arka ayakta ikinci parmağı içeren bir deformite belirlendi. Yürüyüş sırasında sol arka ayakta topallık oluşurken, normal duruşta hasta bacağa ağırlık vermediği gözlendi. Kas atrofisi tespit edilmedi. İkinci parmakta tırnak yokluğu belirlendi. Radyografik muayenede ikinci parmağın 2. falanks kırığı ile birlikte 3. falanksının olmadığı doğrulandı. Yumuşak doku uzaklaştırılarak ikinci falanks dezartikulasyonu uygulandı. Cerrahi uygulamayı takiben hareketlerde belirgin bir düzelme gözlendi. Bu yazı bir köpekte aphalangia ya da adactyly olgularına benzer nadir görülen bir deformiteyi rapor etmektedir. Sunulan olgu rekonstruktif cerrahi ile ekstremite fonksiyonunda önemli derecede iyileşme ile sonuçlanmıştır.

A Case of Second Phalanx Fracture and Anonychia in an English Setter Dog

Anonychia is a rare disorder in which all the finger nails and the toenails are absent without significant bone anomalies. In this case report, A 2-year-old male English Setter dog with a history of lameness in hindlimb was evaluated. In physical examination, deformity involving the second digits of the left hind paw was observed. No reducing weight on the affected limb was noticed during standing, while left hind limb lameness was noted in walking. No muscle atrophy was observed. The nail of second digit was absent. Absence of third phalanx and fracture of second phalanx on digit II were detected in radiographic examination. Second phalanx disarticulation of digit II and removal of second paw were performed. Marked improvement in locomotion was observed following the surgery. This report shows a rare deformity in a dog that it is compatible with aphalangia or adactyly. Reconstructive surgery of this deformity resulted with significant improvement in limb function.
