RESUMO

Background: Fractures and dislocations are common orthopedic conditions arising from traumas from anthropic interaction on wild species, such as those caused by road trampling, being the mandibular separation with great frequency of occurrence in dogs and cats. The procedures for mandibular symphysis stabilization are described as of low complexity in the literature, however no reports of this procedure in wild canids were found. The purpose of this study is to report a surgical procedure of mandibular symphysis disjunction stabilization in an individual of the species Cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox) through the technique of cerclage fixation using stainless steel wire.Case: An adult male individual of the free-living specie weighing 5.6 kg was referred to veterinary care after having been run-over. General physical examination showed abrasions in the ventral region of the jaw, discreet bleeding in the oral cavity, and mandibular instability. Subsequently, the patient underwent radiographic examination that revealed mandibular disjunction. The patient was therefore referred to the surgical unit for stabilization. During surgical anesthesia, two 12-gauge hypodermic needles (40x12 mm) were inserted percutaneously through the ventral region of the mandible, protruding into the oral cavity immediately caudal to the canine teeth. Next, both extremities of a 0.5 mm stainless steel wire were introduced into the interior of the needles and, when both ends extruded through the other end of the needles, the latter were removed, leaving only the steel wire uniting both rostral rami of the mandible. Using a twisting apparatus, the steel wire was twisted until the disjunction was completely stabilized and mandibular occlusion was deemed appropriate. Lastly, the surplus steel wire was sectioned, leaving a small segment that remained exposed to surface in the ventral region of the mandible.[...](AU)

RESUMO

Fraturas de mandíbulas são comuns em cães e gatos e possuem certa similaridade com as fraturas dos outros ossos do corpos, tanto na ocorrência como nas formas ortopédicas de osteossíntese. Os métodos invasivos para a correção são de grande incidência na medicina veterinária e muitas vezes desnecessários. O objetivo deste trabalho foi reunir a informações obtidas na literatura sobre as formas não-invasivas para osteossíntese de fraturas de mandíbulas de cães e gatos a fim de que procedimentos mais invasivos e mais danosos às estruturas anatômicas sejam evitados quando existem possibilidades menos invasivas.(AU)

Jaws fractures are common in dogs and cats and have some similarity with fractures of other bones in the body, both in occurrence as in orthopedic forms of osteosynthesis. The invasive methods for correction are of great incidence in veterinary medicine and often unnecessary. The objective of this study was to gather information from the literature of non-invasive ways to osteosynthesis for jaw fractures in dogs and cat 50 that more invasive and more harmful to anatomical structures are avoided when procedures are less invasive options.(AU)

RESUMO

Patient who presented with vehicular trauma presented dislocation of the teporomandibular Joint (TMJ) associated with fractures of the skull and mandible. Performed open reduction and stabilization of the joint to correct the defect. The animal obtained complete healing after two months of postoperative and return of normal chewing functions. The objective of this work was to report the use of the open reduction technique applied in TMJ dislocation in feline, after a clinical history of trampling.(AU)

RESUMO

Descreve-se o caso de uma fêmea adulta de preguiça-real (Choloepus sp.), vítima de atropelamento. O animal apresentou fratura de mandíbula e perda de parte da língua, o que prejudicou sua alimentação. Permaneceu por dez meses sob cuidados e durante esse período foram necessários tratamentos com antibióticos e antiiflamatórios, cujas doses usadas se mostraram eficazes. Após recuperação clínica do quadro inicial, o animal ainda recusava qualquer alimento sólido e por três meses foi alimentado diariamente apenas com uma dieta líquida a base de frutas, legumes, iogurte, linhaça moída, ovo, flores e folhas. Gradualmente passou a tentar comer brotos de Cecropia sp. e somente no oitavo mês se alimentava relativamente bem sozinho. Embora as preguiças sejam consideradas praticamente folívoras, o indivíduo se adaptou bem à dieta liquida, já que durante todo o processo apresentou consistência normal das fezes e boa condição clínica. Apesar de ter gasto oito meses para se readaptar à ausência de parte da língua, conclui-se que todo o manejo veterinário e alimentar foi bem sucedido.

The case of an adult female of two-toed-sloth(Choloepus sp.), victim of running over isdescribed. The animal had jaw fracture andloss of part of the tongue, which hamperedtheir food. Remained under care for tenmonths, during which treatment withantibiotics and anti-inflammatory were neededand whose doses used were effective. Afterclinical recovery of the initial condition, theanimal still refused any solid food and for threemonths was fed daily with a liquid diet basedon fruits, vegetables, yogurt, ground flaxseed,eggs, flowers and leaves. Gradually came totry to eat sprouts Cecropia sp. and only aftereight months spent to feed relatively wellalone. Although sloths are consideredfolivores, the individual has adapted well to theliquid diet, since during the whole process hadnormal stool consistency and good clinicalcondition. Despite having spent eight monthsto readjust to the absence of part of the tongue,it is concluded that all veterinary and feedingmanagement was successful.
